The question now is why is it still coming from that unit if
nobody is there & why is it stronger on some days over others? Well it smells pretty bad in there right
now; depending on the day, it's apparently easier for it to "escape"
the unit & find its way into other units or the public hallways. I originally considered that Randy was going
in there to smoke to continue causing me problems, but I would be smelling new
pollution if that was the case, so I can't really say I believe that anymore.
I think the key factor in this is perhaps the heat. I don't think Randy has turned off the
cooler in that unit yet, so I expect when the cooler kicks on, this pushes the
pollution to areas other than the unit itself.
This problem could be resolved (at least what is coming from that unit)
if Randy were to shut off the cooler in there; I've also offered to use my own
air sanitizer to try & clean up the pollution, but never heard back on that
offer (either Charles never called Randy about it, Charles could never get a
hold of him or Randy refused the offer; given Charles never sent that notice
out he was going to last week, I'm more inclined to believe he never tried to
contact Randy about the offer). Likely
the only relief we're going to get from the pollution in E22 is when it gets
cold enough that coolers will no longer be needed; however Randy might choose to
turn on the heater, then we won't get that relief from it...
In any case, I do not expect that we've had the last of new
pollution in the unit from other units, but right now it looks like it's
subsided for the time being (possibly they're at church, so they're not around
to cause the problem until later).
Weekends were always the worst while Julie was living, so I expect later
on it will pick up since I can't entirely say that I believe Julie was the only
person causing it at this point. The
pollution coming through the vents (cooler is currently on) wasn't that bad in
the beginning, but I expect I'm going to have to turn my cooler off soon, where
I'll have to deal with the heat again in response to trying to avoid the
pollution (not that turning off my cooler is going to do much good if the
cooler is running in E22).
Right now I think I've had enough pollution going through my
lungs that I need to head back to bed ill again, so now that I've finished with
my washing for the time being, I think it's time to get some shut eye (or at
least try to) & sleep off the migraine I've gotten from the pollution. Chest pains started again a little while ago
while I was watching some Crime TV on 13.3 (in Utah), so hopefully a good nap
(if I can actually get to sleep) will help with that also (not that I expect it
will if I'm continuing to breathe the pollution even while asleep).
Health problems from indoor pollution today:
- Blurry Vision
- Chest Pains
- Headaches
- Migraines
- Nausea
- Sore Throat
UPDATE: As I was about to lay down due to illness from the
pollution about 11:30 AM, I nearly turned the cooler off to prevent further
pollution from coming through the vents.
Decided that I'd try to cover/clean it up with my air purifier/scented
candles rather than fully shutting it back off so I didn't have to deal with
the heat.
UPDATE: Decided at 11:37 AM that trying to cover/clean up
the pollution that was still coming through the vents was not sufficient since
what I have is not strong enough to make that level of pollution coming through
the vents tolerable, ended up turning off the cooler anyways & attempted to
rely on my backup cooler (a Sunpentown SF-609) to try & stay cool.
UPDATE: Decided to try & use the cooler again around
3:20 PM after I woke up, right now the pollution isn't that bad, so hopefully
I'll be able to continue using it until tonight when I can open the windows
(provided it cools down enough last night, wasn't very cool last night).
