The gas in our intestines comes from several sources: air we swallow. gas seeping into our intestines from our blood, gas produced by chemical reactions in our guts, and gas produced by bactering living in our guts.
What is a fart gas made of?
Most of the air we swallow, especialy the oxygen compnent, is absorbed by the body before the gas gets into the intestines.
Chemical reactions between stomach acid and intestinal fluids may produce carbon dioxide, which is also a component of air and a product of bacterial action.
The longer a fart is held in, the larger the proportion of inert nitrogen it contains
What makes farts stink?

Why do farts make noise?
The sounds are produced by vibrations of the anal opening.
Sounds depend on the velocity of expulsion of the gas and the ightness of the sphincter muscles of the anus.
How long does it take fart gas to travel to someone else's nose?
Fart travel depends on atmospheric conditions sucha s humidity, temperature and wind speed and direction, the molecular weight of the fart particles, and the distance between teh fart transmitter and the fart receiver.
Is it true that some people never fart?
No, not if they're alive.
People even fart shortly after death
Is a fart really just a burp that comes out the wrong end?

How long does it take a fart to travel to someone else's nose?
The time for a fart to travel to a person's nose all depends on the surroundings (i.e. atmospheric conditions, the molecular weight of the gas, the height of the person, etc.). Usually, if farts are unable to be detected by smell, it indicates that the fart's density is low and therefore, gets diluted by the air around the person who farted.
What do you do when you fart in public?
