I understand that they have a system where air is recirculated through
a large mass of soil.  This replicates one of the mechanisms of the
natural biosphere for cleansing the atmosphere.  Microorganisms are
significant sinks for CO, H2, and numerous other trace gases.  And,
indeed, they claim that odors have not been a problem.

I have read, however, that the Shuttle is pretty rank at the end of a
flight.  Is this true?
