The remaining 10% is accounted for by many conditions, including disorders in the nasal cavity, tonsil stones, sinuses, throat, lungs, esophagus, stomach, pancreatic insufficiency, food sensitivities or metabolic disorders like TMAU.

Comments
The unpleasant smell of human body usually associated with stale perspiration. Many organic and inorganic substances, byproducts of human and microbial metabolism, are released in the person's sweat, breath, urine and other fluids and gases, giving off a strong smell. Odors could be caused by disease (for example, diabetes leads to sweetish odor; kidney: ammonia-like; TMAU: dead-fish, urine-like or fecal; liver: sweet, mousy and fishy odors), infection (e.g., blue-green pus caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa: grape-like; TB: tar-like; Scrofula: stale beer, yellow fever: butcher's shop), metabolic disorders or temporary problems (issues in cholesterol metabolism: rubber-like; menstrual period: tinny), imbalance or overgrowth of gut microbiota, hormonal imbalance, allergies, diet and medications, prior exposures to strong smells or poor hygiene.

According to Greenpeace's 2012 study “Toxic Threads: The Big Fashion Stitch-Up,” (141 clothing items from 20 major brands, including Zara, Levi’s, Mango, Calvin Klein and H&M) four garments contained high levels of toxic phthalates, 89 garments contained nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs) and two items, both from Zara, contained cancer-causing amines from the use of azo dyes. Besides, synthetic clothes may harbor bacteria causing infections. Lycra undergarments can promote yeast infections and, in addition, compress nerves. Lululemon’s Silverescent technology weaves silver into each thread supposedly preventing bacteria from growing and eliminating odor. For some people, though, it works worse than Rhones silver threading technology. Minerale infuses fabric with crushed volcanic rock. Chitosan technology— using crushed shrimp shells to fight odor-causing bacteria -- does not also work in all cases.
