The plastics, polymer and rubbers used to insulate appliances, fixtures and electrical outlets can emit a fishy smell when they heat up. If your house suddenly smells like low tide, start sniffing ...
Sulfate attack typically happens to ground floor slabs in contact with soils containing a source of sulfates. [2] Sulfates dissolved by ground moisture migrate into the concrete of the slab where they react with different mineral phases of the hardened cement paste. The attack arises from soils containing SO 2−
Automotive batteries stored on a concrete floor do not discharge any faster than they would on other surfaces, in spite of a worry that concrete harms batteries. [505] Early batteries with porous, leaky cases may have been susceptible to moisture from floors, but for many years lead–acid car batteries have had impermeable polypropylene cases ...
Phantosmia (phantom smell), also called an olfactory hallucination or a phantom odor, [1] is smelling an odor that is not actually there. This is intrinsically suspicious as the formal evaluation and detection of relatively low levels of odour particles is itself a very tricky task in air epistemology.
Contractors later discovered a seized motor on one of the school's convector heaters causing a burning smell to permeate the building. The school said there had been no risk of fire as the heater ...
Using the same sponge to wipe counters or a floor spill and then to wash dishes increases the chance of bacterial contamination. Sponges should be replaced at least every two weeks; weekly ...
UFAD systems use an underfloor supply plenum located between the structural concrete slab and a raised floor system to supply conditioned air to supply outlets (usually floor diffusers), located at or near floor level within the occupied space. Air returns from the room at ceiling level or the maximum allowable height above the occupied zone.
You can thank the wind for the odor.
