A chemical called Thioacetone is the world’s smelliest substance. It is so stinky that a small amount (test tube amount) can make people vomit, nauseous and pass out from half- a-mile away.
Chemists tell cautionary tales about a substance called thioacetone, which in 1889 was the subject of experiments in a lab in Freiberg, Germany. One thioacetone reaction produced a smell so bad that it spilled out of the lab and swept through the city, causing widespread panic and evacuation, along with a lot of people being sick in the streets.
