海洋中的微型藻類不僅會產生獨特的芬芳氣味,這些揮發性分子更會促進大氣內雲的形成,從而影響地球氣候。   海水本身沒有什麼氣味,但是海風的確充滿很多來自海中生物的「鮮氣」。海洋漂浮着微小的浮游植物,它們的細胞內有一種稱為「二甲基巰基丙酸」的硫化合物,英文簡稱DMSP。當它們被浮游動物捕食時,浮游植物細胞內的DMSP便會釋放到水中,成為細菌的食物,而在過程中DMSP被分解成更細小的揮發性硫化合物「二甲硫醚」分子(英文簡稱DMS),也就是海風和一些海鮮氣味的主要物質,類似打開紫菜零食包裝時嗅到的香味。   有時在海邊嗅到的氣味不一定令人心曠神怡。

麥嘉慧,科學人    狗常被稱作人類最好的朋友。除了作為日夜陪伴的寵物、家門的守護員、獵人或牧人的助手,以及盲人的導航員外,牠更可以在災難現場中擔當搜索被困傷者的重任。   在大規模災難發生後,例如在倒塌的建築物或山泥傾瀉的瓦礫下,確定現場是否有人被困並將他們救出,絕對是分秒必爭的任務。但是,由於環境惡劣,空間狹窄,救援人員未必能深入瓦礫,此時搜索犬就可以大展身手!搜索犬可以用牠驚人的嗅覺,探測人體釋放的氣味,幫助尋找並定位被困的人,讓救援人員用安全方法將他們救出。
