Or just methane gas?

methane gas is odorless. the pungent aroma is produced by atomized fecal matter, also known as "farticles"

The bad smell is a result of lots of bacteria (methnogens) in your intestines. They eat what is present in our intestines and excrete a smelly form of methane gas. That is where the smell and the gas are from. No particles, just bacterial waste.

The fart itself is an instantaneous release of gas, just as a sneeze or cough is. But just like a sneeze or cough, such a rush of gas can carry liquid, solid or semisolid particles along with it.

Methane gas and air are the bulk.
The odor is carried by methyl mercaptan (methanethiol) and ethyl mercaptan (ethanethiol).
This is not to say particulates and bacteria are not aerosolized in minute quanties, but most are filtered through clothing.

No, just methane gas, I believe.

No. they're extra gas it really is stuck on your digestive device from particular sorts of nutrients, ingesting too quickly, chewing gum, otherwise swallowing air...Farts are burps that come out of your butt. purely extra gas. not poop. besides the undeniable fact that, the gas is moved out by colonic spasms it really is an similar ingredient that strikes poop, so that you'll by twist of destiny poop once you're farting...yet i don't believe of it really is purely too difficulty-loose ;)

Yes, all smells are from airborne particles of what you are smelling.
