Guest Plushy Al Logan Report post Posted April 23, 2003 How does lighting a match get rid of a horrible smell? I've tried it on many foul smells and it worked great, I'm just wondering how does it work. Every Rose Has It's Thorn! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted April 23, 2003 Fire uses oxygen, the smell is in the air. I'm guessing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest godthedog Report post Posted April 24, 2003 when i first saw this topic, i thought it was a question about how wrestling companies arrange the lighting in the arenas they use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Plushy Al Logan Report post Posted April 24, 2003 I'm still lost, because I lit a match around my aunt, and her smell went away, for a while at least. Every Rose Has It's Thorn! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted April 25, 2003 Since I'm pretty good at chemistry, I think I'll have a hand at this... The best way to induce a chemical reaction/change in something is to add fire. By adding fire to the foul-smelling molecules, you are changing the KINDS of molecules. Thus, newer less-smelling molecules are formed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest I'm That Damn Zzzzz Report post Posted April 26, 2003 Sulphites and methane (I think) are the causes of many odors (both discharges of bacteria.) Sulphites cause morning breath, for example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
