Sukkah 12–סוכה יב

Sukkah 12a and Sukkah 12b, how we know schach must be made of materials not susceptible to ritual impurity, why bundles of straw or wood cannot be sechach, with a rabbinic problem and a Biblical one of ta’aseh ve-lo min ha-asui, what kind of opening makes a piece of wood susceptible to ritual impurity, and whether a foul odor makes something invalid as schach.
