Chemical compound
Methanethiol/ˌmɛθ.eɪn.ˈθaɪ.ɒl/ (also known as methyl mercaptan) is an organosulfur compound with the chemical formula CH 3SH. It is a colorless gas with a distinctive putrid smell. It is a natural substance found in the blood, brain and feces of animals (including humans), as well as in plant tissues. It also occurs naturally in certain foods, such as some nuts and cheese. It is one of the chemical compounds responsible for bad breath and the smell of flatus. Methanethiol is the simplest thiol and is sometimes abbreviated as MeSH. It is very flammable.
