Hi,
I look around on the floor for dead flys(all levels), dead roaches and
silverfish(low level), etc.
I had the room tested for CO, CO2, and O2 levels, etc and could find nothing
alarming. We had complaints of service people and xray operator feeling dizzy.
Service person got dizzy while up on ladder working on the lights. (does gender
matter, it was a woman).
I am hoping that having the door open and the A/C stirring up the air will
suffice. It has worked for 20 years. Only thing I could do different is attach a
pipe to the stacks and vent it outdoors. Then the air quality police would see
the plume during the winter and get excited. What next.
