Fart Smell Help! -- Flatulence Filter Cushions & Pads

[Guest guest]

Hi all:

Anybody who is worried about their being embarrassed at work by the

smell of their flatulence needs to check out this web site. This

isn't a joke. I saw a reference on Medline to a " charcoal device "

that absorbs fart odors, so I searched for it on Google, and this is

what I found. It's a company that sells activated carbon impregnated

chair cushions and pads (to be placed inside your undies).

<http://www.flatulence-filter.com/>

Here are the relevant parts of an abstract from the medical

journal " Gut " in which the charcoal pad was positively evaluated:

" Identification of gases responsible for the

odour of human flatus and evaluation of a device

purported to reduce this odour. Gut 1998 Jul;

43(1):100-4 (ISSN: 0017-5749) Suarez FL;

Springfield J; Levitt MD Minneapolis Veterans

Affairs Medical Center, MN 55417, USA.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: ... The aims of the present

study were to ... test the efficacy of a device

purported to reduce this odour.

METHODS: ... Utilising gastight Mylar pantaloons,

the ability of a charcoal lined cushion to adsorb

sulphur-containing gases instilled at the anus of

eight subjects was assessed.

RESULTS: The main sulphur-containing flatus

component was hydrogen sulphide. ... Malodour

significantly correlated with hydrogen sulphide

concentration. ... [A]ctivated charcoal removed

virtually all odour. The cushion absorbed more

than 90% of the sulphur gases.

CONCLUSION: Sulphur-containing gases are the

major, but not the only, malodorous components

of human flatus. The charcoal lined cushion

effectively limits the escape of these sulphur-

containing gases into the environment. "

Looks to me like it's worth a try. What do you all think?

Flatulently yours,

Tom

Tom,

You can also take charcol pills which are available as a homeopathic

remeady for intestinal gas. The stuff actually works on gas (at

least for a pre-op) and it is supposed to absorb the foul oder as

well. Has anybody tried it?

Couldn't we just wear the gastight mylar pantaloons, and release them

at the end of the day? (course I might have to be anchored to my

chair...)

Hi Ellen:

In my case, the pantaloons would need to have big warning signs on

them saying " WARNING: EXPLOSIVE GASES -- KEEP AWAY FROM FLAMES OR

SPARKS! "
