[DIYbio] Vacuum pumps and smell?

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Breakthrough-sensor-to-give-our-smartphones-a-sense-of-smell_id48089

I know very little about vacuum pumps but I don't understand how a vacuum pump can smell something. Is there some inherent feature of vacuum pumps that allow them to detect smell?
