Abstract

Once we, too, were misled that the tangy seaside smell was ozone and that it was good for us. In reality, it is mostly a different gas–dimethyl sulfide (DMS)—but one that exerts remarkable effects, from fluffy clouds to penguin behavior. No doubt former English poet laureate John Betjeman (1906–1984) might have woven these facts into a folksy homage to what is an intriguing microbiological story—if only his chemistry had been up to it.
