I went out this morning around 10.45 and the flat was fine. Come back with a friend at 5, and literally as soon as I opened the door a strong smell of gloss paint hit me. My friend said she could smell it too, we went back to hers and I thought nothing of it. Come back at 1 and it is still here, in every room, really strong and it is worrying me. I don't think it can be gas as my flat does not have gas, is there a chance it is gas from a fridge/freezer or coming through from a flat or something around me????

I am scared of going to sleep and would really like some advice? Will it just be paint I can smell from someone else's flat? It is getting to my head and I can't smell anything anywhere outside.

Thanks.

Thuanks.

You answered your own question. 43 Minutes Ago: 27th October 2011 02:46   Re: Smell in my flat? Dangerous? What should I do? But I havn't been painting... It really is as strong as if I was painting it in every room in my flat... =Swell gas smells like rotten eggs so you can pretty much rule that out if it smells like paint.

Try asking the people in the flats next to yours if they can smell anything? obviously if they have been painting they would mention it when you ask.

It's not just a 'smell'. It's vaporised industrial chemicals. The kind of stuff that goes into varnish. One of a group of chemicals in which there are some of the most potent poisons known to man, which even poison soil. They enter your blood through the nasal membrane and bronchioli, and go straight through the blood-brain barrier because they are thinner than water (alcohol/ether molecular structure). Because they KILL BRAIN CELLS there is a sign on every packet of paint, varnish and thinner. 'Use only in well-ventilated places'. At the moment it sounds like you're inhaling it almost as much as oxygen. You might as well drink meths, if that doesn't bother you. Fix it. 17 Minutes Ago: 27th October 2011 03:12   Re: Smell in my flat? Dangerous? What should I do? It's not just a 'smell'. It's vaporised industrial chemicals.

It's 3am, got no where else to stay and even if I did I want to solve the problem, but I don't know what to do? Shall I just keep the window open and hope it goes?

Oh and thanks for replying (:

It's hard at this time to ask the neighbours, I'm scared to go to sleep because of the smell >.< Am I being silly? My friend said I can't get poisoned from invisible gas and that I need to stop being silly and that is will just be paint coming through the ventilators? Thanks for replying by the way (:
