BBCWORLD reported on the launch of the Soyuz to the ISS and the fact
that a millionaire paid 20 million to get to ISS. They then went on to
mention that he won't be getting much in terms of luxury and will have
to deal with putrid air on the ISS during his stay.

Is there any basis for this qualificatioon of "purtrid" ?????

I hadn't heard of air quality problems on ISS before.
