what does a meth lab smell like?

[almost-pro]

Seriously.. I think the guys that just moved in below me in my apartment building are running a meth lab. They are really shady characters. I get this extremely odd and strong odor in my apartment every night around the same time since they moved in. It's a strong chemical smell.. almost makes me gag sometimes.

That is hydrogen sulfide./sulfite....


There is probably a sink that hasnr had any water run in it in a while...the water trapped in the curve on the pipes traps thwe smell...no water - no trap
