SSS'Attempts to make thioacetone by the cracking of trithioacetone gave rise to an offensive smell which spread rapidlyover a great area of the town causing fainting, vomiting and a panic evacuation'...'the laboratory work was abandoned.'-Researcher, Freiburg, 1889'Recently we found ourselves with an odour problem beyond our worst expectations. During early experiments, astopper jumped from a bottle of residues, and, although replaced at once, resulted in an immediate complaint ofnausea and sickness from colleagues working in a building two hundred yards away. Two of our chemists who haddone no more than investigate the cracking of minute amounts of trithioacetone found themselves the object ofhostile stares in a restaurant and suffered the humiliation of having a waitress spray the area around them with adeodorant. <strong>The</strong> odours defied the expected effects of dilution since workers in the laboratory did not find theodours intolerable...and genuinely denied responsibility since they were working in closed systems. To convincethem otherwise, they were dispersed with other observers around the laboratory, at distances up to a quarter of amile, and one drop of either acetone gem-dithiol or the mother liquors from crude thioacetone crystallizations wereplaced on a watch glass in a fume cupboard. <strong>The</strong> odour was detected downwind in seconds.'-Esso Researcher, Oxford, 1967
