Methanethiol dominated emissions from the female bloom. “That smells like rotting cabbage, and it’s also present in flatulence,” says G. Eric Schaller, a plant molecular biologist at Dartmouth College who wasn’t involved with the work. In the past, researchers have attributed titan arum’s stink primarily to dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl trisulfide. This work “completely changes the concept of what are the major odorants that are being released,” he says. Cosmo’s rate of methanethiol emission rivaled that of a landfill, the team found. The methanethiol peak was followed by peaks of methyl trisulfide, methyl disulfide, and finally dimethyl sulfide. This sequence of odorants is similar to that from a decomposing corpse but is released in quicker succession, says study coauthor Rose Rossell, an atmospheric scientist at Colorado State University. “It’s basically mimicking decomposing flesh in this really incredible way.” The male bloom emitted the same sulfurous compounds, but at much lower levels, along with aromatics, such as phenols and terpenoids, that are more typical of flowers.

In Bowser’s case, her proposed changes are more sweeping. Her marquee reform would largely exempt buildings less than 25 years old from TOPA, if at least 51% of the units have average rents that are considered market-rate. In essence, Bowser says that TOPA was never meant to apply to market-rate buildings, so they should be exempted since (in theory) those tenants are less likely to be displaced when sales happen. Her bill would also allow for an exemption from TOPA for a building that has five or fewer years left on a covenant that mandates that half of the units be set aside for low- and moderate-income residents. This, say city officials, would allow for investment in these affordable properties. Relatedly, Bowser wants to amend TOPA to clarify that it doesn’t apply when buildings are refinanced or the capital structure changes. (That could mean a part owner of a building decides to increase their ownership stake in the property.)

In the above figures about one-third of the area of the original disc is removed by each of the two successive operations.
