Default Why don't I smell sewer gases?

The toilet has been off the closet flange for a week, and I have not put
anything in the drain pipe to prevent sewer gases from drifting up into
the bathroom. Yet I don't smell any, and my smelling is excellent. From
the plumbing diagrams on the web, there are no traps other than the one
in the toilet. Should I be concerned that there is a blockage further
down the drain?

The house is 15 years old and built on a slab.

Thanks,

R1
