My apartment smells like paint. I haven't painted, the hallway doesn't smell like paint, and I can't smell paint outside any of my neighbors apartments. I'm a little worried it could be gas I'm smelling. My stove is electric, and it's the middle of the summer. Could I still smell gas? If it's not gas, how do I get rid of the odor? It's giving me a headache.
Answer
Get a carbon monoxide detector or call the gas company. If it is gas, a carbon monoxide detector should detect it or to be extra sure a gas company person or furnace person could use a detector to detect for gas leaks.
Besides that, you can open up the windows and let the fumes get blown out.
I also remembered something about curing sick building syndrome using tea. So I looked it up.
"Tea bags can cure sick building syndrome. People who move intoa new house can suffer nausea and sore throats due to the chemicals from fresh paint and glue. One of the chielf culprits is formaldehyde. Now the Tokyo Metropolitan Consumer Center has found that tea bags scattered around the house soak up the formaldehyde, aided by tannin in the tea. They found that the concentration of formaldehyde in the air fell between 60 and 90 percent. Dry black or green tea is said to work best."
