Did anybody bring in a plant with a outside soil into the office? Sometimes soils in pots have odors.
We have a strong =93dirty socks=94 odor present in one of our micro labs. It=92s a pretty typical lab using media and cultures, etc. and we are systematically removing everything and deconning but this odor is persisting. I know I have smelt this chemical before, maybe back in my undergraduate days, but it is really a sickening odor. Any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!Rachel E.
