A cloud of purple stench that makes your Template:L unhappy. Only occurs in subterranean areas. Caused by rotting items such as untanned hides, chunks and dead Template:L. Does not pass through dwarves.
To avoid miasma, either keep anything rotten outside or alternatively have an inside Template:L pile on its own in a room with several Template:Ls, this should halt the miasma's advance (although the room itself will still stink up). It will also not spread diagonally so one possible solution is to have the only entrance be diagonal. This is better than the many doors solution in that if miasma passes through a open door it will keep the door open.[Verify]
Another option is to have a long garbage chute where refuse is Template:Led down, if it is long enough the miasma will not be able to reach all the way to the top, preventing your dwarves from getting unhappy thoughts. A creative way of constructing garbage chutes is to separate the garbage area and dumping area (where dwarves are) with Template:Les linked to a Template:L. That way garbage will land on the hatch, which will open (triggered by dwarf returning to his duties stepping on a plate), letting it fall down and then close, keeping all the miasma inside. This allows one to construct a short, yet non-smelly chute.
