Dimethylsulfide (DMS) is a colorless, volatile organic compound with a strong, distinctive odor often described as similar to that of cabbage or seafood. It is produced naturally by marine phytoplankton and is a significant component of the ocean's sulfur cycle. DMS is also released during the breakdown of organic matter and can be found in various environmental sources. In addition to its natural occurrence, Dimethylsulfide has industrial applications, including its use as a solvent and in the production of other chemicals. It plays a role in atmospheric chemistry, where it can influence cloud formation and climate by contributing to the formation of sulfate aerosols.
