If metal has no odor and you can't smell it, then what are we smelling? It turns out that it's mostly a chemical called 1-octen-3-one, which is generated when your skin oils react with metal that you've touched. I thought this was really interesting, and I decided to try making pure 1-octen-3-one myself and to see what it smelled like.

fascinating! I always assumed the āmetal smellā was from some form of oxidation of metal, but had no idea it was actually from skin oils. cool to know!

It's always so satisfying to see him simply poke at a liquid with a stick and see it turn into something completely different

This chemical may be a life saver! I detected a gastric bleed in one of my patients a few weeks ago because I smelled that āmetallic smell.ā After noticing no notable bleeding source and running some tests and labs it pointed to a GI bleed. All thanks to (probably) 1-octen-3-one.

He made the worst smelling mixture of substances and didn't think it was too bad. His friends/coworkers didn't agree. People have different sensitivities but probably too many chemicals have contributed to hyposmia. I experienced complete anosmia with Covid several times. Now probably hyposmia at the right nostril. Glad I didn't lose it all.

"you can't smell salt"
joke's on you, my dad's been smelling our salt though a straw for the last 30 minutes

chemistry is actually fascinating when you dont have to swot for an exam

I've had this weird dish with watery baked eggs and a little bit of ham, and it always makes forks taste way more metallic than usual for some reason. It must be something with the way the eggs were done or something.

Amaizing, loved it! For some people panic attacks start with a smell of "metal". In that sense, for me, there's now a lot more to elucubrate on that

So the only difference between the smell of a mushroom and the smell of metal is a single hydrogen? That's kinda mind blowing tbh

Also metal just smells like blood so Iāve always chalked it up to āiron in blood, iron is metal, logicā

Being able to smell metal makes a lot of sense with how blood is just a very important thing to smell for anything that has it and hunts things that have it, which is an interesting thing on it's own. The way the smell only activates when it's mixed with your body fluids, it's like it was made this way specifically for creatures to smell it. And you can't even confuse it for metal because metal doesn't smell unless you touch it.

I used to make lemon curd and whenever I made it, it inevitably had a metallic taste/smell. And because I had strained the curd through a metal sieve and somehow the acidity from the lemon probably caused some reaction and therefore my curd always ended up with a metallic taste/smell. I guess that metallic taste/smell probably was something leeching off some of the metal and chemically reacted to have similar properties of the chemical you made. Who knows. I suck at chemistry.

Yes, we can smell metal. Look at the blacksmith! They have smelt metal.

Just found this channel randomly few days ago.. pretty good mad scientist content even for people like me that are stuck at elementary school chemistry level and never looked into it more then that. Well done!

I am so glad this came up on my page, I have wondered this for so long.

I mean, if a crab that owns a fast food restaurant can smell a penny from a mile away, I bet humans can.
