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.

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.

Well, it could be that he just needs a bath! If that is not the problem, its possible that he needs to have his anal glands expressed, or that there is an infection of the anal glands. Again, discuss with your vet. See similar questions...

It is possible some people may detect a slight chlorine odor, usually less than a swimming pool or hot tub. See similar questions...

This may take place during the summer months. A combination of low water levels in our reservoirs and high temperatures are excellent conditions for the growth of algae. The algae then creates an oil which permeates the water and creates an almost muddy, musty smell and taste. However, the water is safe to drink. The City of Plano purchases its treated water from the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD). See similar questions...

Taste is not a good indicator of whether the water is safe. Taste in water can come from substances either naturally found in or added to the water, such as minerals, chlorine, and various organic substances. Some substances impart a strong taste while others do not. 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. Sometimes point of use equipment, water softeners, water heaters, or in-line filters, can be the cause of strange tastes or smells. See similar questions...

Presumably, to attract insects that normally feed on dead animals ("carrion"). Carrion-loving insects include many species of flies, carrion beetles, and wasps. While in the flower, the insects carry pollen from one plant to another, pollinating the flowers. Competition for pollinators is great in the tropics due to very high diversity. By utilizing a group of insects not usually associated with pollination, for example, bees, the plant taps into another pool of pollen movers. See similar questions...

Sulfides occur naturally in Florida groundwater. Hydrogen sulfide can be produced from the association of sulfide with hydrogen ions, which are always present in water. Hydrogen sulfide has an objectionable odor and taste in drinking water, sometimes referred to as rotten egg smell. The objectionable taste and odor resulting from sulfides in the water can be eliminated by disinfection. See similar questions...

Taste and odor problems with the tap water can come from numerous sources. Lake turnover that occurs in the spring and fall can create problems from organic material from the bottom of the lake. New plumbing fixtures or new carpet in the house can combine with chemicals in the water to create odors.

The California Department of Health requires the District to maintain a certain level of chlorine in the water to ensure that it remains bacteria free. This amount of chlorine is not harmful to people. See similar questions...

The most common cause for this smell could be stagnant water from the hot water heater. In which case, you would need to connect a hose to the water heater and allow it to drain. Another cause might be the plumbing trap under the sink could be too shallow or need to be cleaned. See similar questions...

Bacteria that live in the bowels and produce fecal smells, have cousins that have similar metabolic pathways, that live in the mouth. So mouth bacteria can cause fecal smells. It is just the method of metabolism. It is the same principle why mouth bacteria can make a "rotten egg gas" smell. It doesn't mean you ate eggs for lunch. It is the bacterial breakdown method.

long as your compost has enough airflow so that it remains aerobic, there may be some odor but it shouldn't be objectionable. If you do get foul-smelling odors, you should add more wood chips or other bulking agent, and mix the system to reaerate it. Ammonia odors may develop if you compost materials that are high in nitrogen, such as fresh grass clippings. To prevent this, you can calculate the appropriate mixture of materials to achieve the right carbon-to-nitrogen ratio. See similar questions...
