You are speaking about the smell of decomposing paper due to biological acitivity? I know it from antiquariat bookshops over here in Romania and also from places back home in Germany where are stored the old papers and files until is juridically allowed to throw them away.
It is a typical smell, which I detected always in my waste paper recycling plant, when came in paper older than 5 years.I can not say I like it. But alos never during my 25 years of practice I had a bad experience with it referring to health.
