Plastic smell harmful ?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #46835 of 46850 |
Hello all,

Reluctantly, I started again seeking jobs that may fit.
I've found one that would seem less bad than others
(business statistics for controlling)
BUT it's in a new steel&glass building and the
interior smells quite strongly of plastic chemicals.
I stayed in it now 2 hours, not long enough for
a clear effect but some 'dulling'. The sensation
diminished over time with some 'accustoming' of
sensors. In another case, staying and trying to
concentrate 3-4 hours in a similarly-smelling library
generated strong headaches and confusion.
Other people clearly had noticed but became
accustomed too (or the money surpassed all).
I had some weird unexplained allergies some time
ago, before such exposures - so unrelated.

So I wonder if it's wise to try it here, staying
8 or more hours every day... if it's really harmful,
or only my subjective discomfort... if there's any
"reasonable accomodation" to ask, or something
that would benefit others too.

Thank you for thinking about this,
Mircea Pauca, Bucuresti, Romania

I myself would find that an intolerable work situation. Chemical smells, along with colognes and perfumes, can make me totally sick. Here's an interesting...
