Vinyl Windows

[Guest guest]

Ever since getting back from a vacation during which my landlord

replaced the aluminum windows in my bedroom and office with

plastic ones, I have had a series of bronchial problems, asthma

and a dry tickly cough which won't go away. (About 2 weeks now).

I have read that these windows offgas some pretty gnarly stuff

and that they have caused other people to have respiratory

problems. Does anyone know how long the off-gassing goes on

for? And are there any treatments for this? Does heating work for

this kind of problem? Could I direct a fan heater at segments of

the windows and heat them up to get rid of the toxic offgassing?

Thanks in advance for your answers.
