Turbosphere
The turbosphere (or homosphere) is that portion of the atmosphere that is sufficiently well-stirred by atmospheric motion that long-lived gases are well-mixed and do not appreciably separate by weight.

Just so long as there are no nasty scents.

Your concerns are for the methanosphere around retirement living communities?
