In a nutshell Scientists have discovered that oceans emit a previously overlooked sulfur gas called methanethiol (MeSH) that increases their cooling effect on Earth’s climate by up to 70% in the ...

We knew methanethiol was coming out of the ocean, but we had no idea about how much and where. We also did not know it had such an impact on climate.

Methanethiol emissions are crucial for understanding marine influences on climate, enhancing sulfate aerosols, and impacting atmospheric chemistry significantly.

Methanethiol is pretty smelly itself; it’s the compound that builds up in the mouths of some people with poor dental hygiene and gives them clinically bad breath, or halitosis.

The Global Methanethiol Market Size was Valued at USD 8.6 Billion in 2023 and the Worldwide Methanethiol Market Size is Expected to Reach USD 14.4 Billion by 2033, according to a research report ...

We knew methanethiol was coming out of the ocean, but we had no idea about how much and where. We also did not know it had such an impact on climate. “Climate models have greatly overestimated the ...

We knew methanethiol was coming out of the ocean, but we had no idea about how much and where. We also did not know it had such an impact on climate.

Sulfur compounds contribute the most to flatus malodor, but compounds called thiols also royally reek. Methanethiol is one of the worst. Naturally found in blood, and, in turn, red meat, it can be ...

Methanethiol is normally produced during digestion but broken down in the body. Some bacteria can break down sulfur compounds. Based on bacterial genes, the team identified a human protein, ...

Methanethiol, also known as methyl mercaptan, is a known culprit of stinkiness, including fecal odor, bad breath, and flatulence. So its prevalence in asparagus pee would certainly make sense.

As Prof. Wevers states, “Methanethiol is produced in large amounts in the intestines, and can originate from food. We believed that the protein responsible for getting rid of methanethiol was ...
