Also, a review of the Ministry of Environment’s records show that for years there have been many complaints about paint / varnish type odours which make residents feel ‘nauseous’, ‘not able to open up their windows’, ‘cannot enjoy being in the backyard’ and ‘worried about what their children are inhaling’.
