desertdweller21 Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 Hello, Looking for a possible cause of high levels of light hydrocarbons in my home that was found on air quality testing through Prism Analytical Technologies. Trying to determine if chronic sinus problems, headache, eye irritation, etc. are caused by environmental sources in my home and we are stumped as to the source of the hydrocarbon level. No gas appliances at all (stove, water heater, dryer, washer, etc are all electric). Any thoughts are appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 What is considered a light hydrocarbon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 Do you keep propane bottles in the house? (For camping lanterns, stoves, etc) Does your garage open into your house? (Vehicle exhaust) Gas welding equipment? Bottles of wood finish? Oil lamps? Maybe those stinky room freshener things that you plug into the wall?

Marc Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) Yeah, that's what comes out when you inhale too many hydrocarbons. Just joking. Edited October 16, 2021 by Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
