Australian Scientists Launch App to Study Flatulence Patterns

The CSIRO's 'Chart Your Fart' app aims to demystify flatulence by collecting data on frequency and characteristics.

  • The app was developed by Australia's leading scientific organization, CSIRO, to better understand flatulence habits.
  • A 2021 study showed that 60% of Australians experience excessive flatulence, prompting this research initiative.
  • Participants aged 14 and over are invited to record their flatulence data for three days, including details like smell and sound.
  • The app seeks to identify what constitutes a 'normal' fart profile across different age groups.
  • CSIRO emphasizes the naturalness of flatulence, noting its ties to diet, health conditions, and digestion processes.
