sulfur smell
Hot springs odor
The distinctive odor of sulfur compounds, often described as resembling rotten eggs.
Sulfur smell commonly refers to hydrogen sulfide gas, which occurs naturally near hot springs, volcanic areas, and decaying organic matter.
It also signals gas leaks, since utility companies add sulfur compounds to odorless natural gas as a safety measure: If you notice a sulfur smell, leave immediately and call the gas company.
