A fart contains the smelly gas hydrogen sulfide and is created when a person eats foods that the digestive system cannot absorb.

The odor of farts comes from small amounts of hydrogen sulfide gas and mercaptans in the mixture. These compounds contain sulfur. Nitrogen-rich compounds such as skatole and indole also add to the stench of farts. ChaCha On!

Flatulence contains odorless gases, such as oxygen, and methane, but it also contains hydrogen sulfide, which causes the smell.

The smell of farts comes from gas and mercaptans (other gases) in the mixture. Basically it all depends on your diet! ChaCha.
