Can anyone please tell me what this odor is. And why does it occur? Also why is it so foul?
If it's a men's room, what else could the odor be? Please send us a picture of the odor or describe it better.

Probably a leaking trap, letting sewer gas back in.
Jet Set Night Club? Must be some hot chicas there?
How do you fix this?
if its in fact the Main Trap, it would be outside the building , near the street ..
Dig it up, replace .. not hard but time consuming..
I concur its probably leaking into the ground,and could be allowing gases back in.
If the smell is more subtle , it could be an OPEN pipe inside the bathroom itself ( which is actually a more likely scenario thinking about it ) .. even sinks have traps under them for this obvious reason.
In a toilet the trap is inside the toilet itself . it looks like an S shape..same principle and that is why you have standing water in the toilet , that water is what keeps the gases out .
So we all concur that it is in fact sewer gasses. Now what is the repercussion of breathing this stuff in?
would be more concerned with Airborne Bacteria settling on surfaces in that bathroom, than the gas itself , you not sleeping in the bathroom so it wont really affect you..
How do you fix this?
I never touch a bath door handle on the way out. Always use some type of paper towel or something. The door handle has to be the worst.
