The most likely cause is the chemical breakdown of proteins in food and saliva by a variety of micro-organisms (bacteria). The offensive odours are due to volatile sulphur compounds (VSC's) including hydrogen sulphide (H2S), methyl mercaptonm (CH3SH) and dimethyl sulphide (CH3SCH3). H2S is produced mainly off the top surface of the tongue and CH3SH and CH3SCH3 enrich the mal odour from the gums immediately round the teeth (Periodontal Tissues).

Most often, bad breath is caused by dental or periodontal disease. Some dogs do not adequately chew their food; thus they don't clean their teeth naturally by the chewing process. Also, some dogs and cats are just prone to dental plaque, tartar and disease. These pets may need more frequent dental cleanings and treatments. Internal diseases such as kidney disease can also cause bad breath. See similar questions...

You would know it if you had this problem! In some parts of the country, drinking water can contain the chemical hydrogen sulfide, which smells just like rotten eggs. This can occur when water comes into contact with organic matter or with some minerals, such as pyrite. The situation mostly occurs as ground water filters through organic material or rocks.

The most common natural reasons for Florida’s water to smell unpleasant is because of the surrounding environment. With a high organic content, the water may smell "humic" and the presence of sulfur compounds makes the water smell of rotten eggs. Filtration often resolves the problem. Under certain circumstances, the human nose may also identify the presence of contaminants from spills, such as gasoline, or extreme bacteriological activity. See similar questions...

Water may have an undesirable taste or smell if it has been stagnant in household plumbing too long. A 3 X 7 flush should alleviate the taste and odor issues. Should the undesirable properties persist, decide if a particular faucet is at fault.

Fresh urine does not actually have an unpleasant odor, but the ammoniacal odor of stale (old) urine is due to bacterial decomposition of the urea in the urine, as well as the bacterial excrement itself. Nature's bacteria will continue to feed as long as there is a food source, and moisture. That is why the ammonia odor becomes stronger on humid days, or soon after a carpet has been wet cleaned.

When the urine dries, it forms microscopic sized salt crystals due to the action of the bacteria growing. As humidity and heat rise, these crystals absorb the heat and humidity and start to give off gases, producing that ammonia-like smell. Only the proper cleaning and odor destroying techniques that have been developed can eliminate these odors. See similar questions...

While vacuuming, a large variety of bacteria and particles are accumulated inside the cleaner. For instance, pet hairs are picked up by the cleaner and then remain inside the dust bag. This environment is ideal for bacteria to develop bad odours inside the dust bag. When vacuuming, the air passes through the dust bag, making the air going out of the cleaner smell bad.
