Fumes from boiler room
I posted a question about living above the boiler room and getting some of the fumes. I can’t seem to log into that conversation anymore. The management company is planning an air quality test in our apartment.
We need them to test for fumes produced from the not-so-clean burning of a natural gas furnace. They are testing for CO, CO2, total hydrocarbon, airborne nuisance allergenic Particulate, methane and hydrogen sulfide (for possible sewer gas).
I read somewhere that Nitrogen Oxides and Sulfur Dioxide are also products of the burning of natural gas. Should I have them test for these as well?
Should I have them test for anything else? We are sensing it as burning in our eyes, and some in throat and lungs.
Thank you!

Angelina,
This site seems to go down quite a lot, especially on the weekends and nights. I know that they are working on a new version of the site to address the problem. So if you get either access denied or no results found some night or weekend, try the next business day. The site will typically have been reset and be back to working normally. It's annoying but there is so much great info on this site so ...
I linked to the original thread above and think it's better to continue discussion there...
Thank you so much for this help - it did not occur to me that it must have been the site going down. This is a great site, I am glad I found it!
