Plastic smell harmful ?

[Guest guest]

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,
