Icky PVC Cement
We had a plumber come in and replace a piece of the sewer pipe running through the payroll office today. Surprisingly there was no sewer smell - just the overpowering smell of the PVC cement. Wow. It was so bad we moved the payroll folks out of their office and into IT, forwarding their phone line and giving them seats at the bench. Looked up the health effects of PVC cement: INHALATION: Will cause irritation of mucous membranes, nose, eyes & throat, coughing, difficulty of breathing. Exposure to high vapor concentration may cause headache, dizziness, nausea, narcosis. I’m not going to look up “narcosis.”
