VANCOUVER - As the city suffers its 10th week without garbage pickup, some areas are starting to smell pretty ripe.

As you walk home through a back alley or pass an unemptied trash can, the stench of rotting garbage is increasingly difficult to escape. That raises a couple of questions: What makes garbage smelly in the first place? And why do we find the particular stench of refuse so unbearable? The answer to the first question is relatively simple: Bacteria. The hungry little micro- organisms are everywhere including the surface of most foods and, given enough time, they start to chow down. As they do so, they break down the large molecules in food into smaller ones. And its just kind of unfortunate that the small molecules all happen to be a bit smelly, said Reg Mitchell, a professor of chemistry at the University of Victoria. The smelliest among them, he said, are nitrogen and sulphur, both of which are produced when protein breaks down. Thats why foods that are high in protein like meat, fish and eggs smell the nastiest once they begin to rot. Food high in carbohydrates, on the other hand, is more benign. A slice of bread, even if it goes mouldy, doesnt usually smell, said Mitchell.But what is it about the molecules garbage gives off that the human nose finds so smelly? Pamela Dalton is a researcher in human olfaction at the Monell Chemical Senses Cente r i n Philadelphia. She said its not hard to theorize why humans developed an aversion to garbage smells. After all, if your ancestors were in the habit of eating rotten flesh, you probably wouldnt be here now. Over time ... weve come to associate these types of odours with danger, said Dalton. However, its still unknown if we have these instincts from birth or if we learn them over time. Dalton said researchers know that babies are born with certain innate aversions to sour and bitter tastes, a protection against ingesting poisonous foods. If you put a bitter- tasting compound in a newborn infant, they will spit it right out, said Dalton. Its a very clear response. But, despite repeated studies, researchers have been unable to determine if babies have similar hard- wired responses to smell. Dalton suspects humans have some built- in aversion to certain smelly molecules, like sulphur. But she thinks theres also more to it than that. After all, we respond to the smell of garbage more viscerally than other bad smells like a skunk or industrial chemicals. The other awful thing about garbage smells is that they can linger for days, even after the source of the smell is long gone. Dalton said thats not because garbage smells are any more resilient than nice ones, but because our brains are fine- tuned to detect them. With no end in sight to the municipal strike, Vancouver can at least take comfort in one fact: After repeated exposure to bad smells, said

Dalton, the olfactory system eventually stops responding. If you smell the same thing for a long time and it hasnt hurt you, your brain starts to filter it out, she said.
