There was a bad smell in the kitchen that took a couple of days of sniffing
around before it was traced to an aging bag of potatoes in a cabinet that had ceased
being food anymore. Emptying the cabinet and airing it out for a couple of
days with bowl of baking soda inside may have helped some, but it's still
unpleasantly stinky, so I'm looking to accelerate the process by investigating
other suggestions for ways to absorb the stench. Of course one of the
suggestions is that this can be accomplished using potatoes. Maybe I'll ignore
the potential irony here and try that... it's like the old saying, set a thief
to catch a thief.

There is a reported case of a family being wiped out by deadly gas caused by rotten potatoes in the cellar.

My guess is oxygen depletion combined with poisoning, either way the results would be the same.
Jesus, it sounds like a bad horror movie. From the article:
An eight-year-old Russian girl has been orphaned after her entire family was wiped out by deadly gas caused from rotting potatoes.
Grief-stricken Maria Chelysheva lost her father, mother, brother and grandmother who were killed one by one after entering a cellar where they stored potatoes for the winter.
If Russia stops fighting, the war ends. If Ukraine stops fighting, Ukraine ends. Slava Ukraini!
