cathy

Hi my names cathy i have joined this site in desperation regarding my situation, firstly a horrible smell started in my house about 5 weeks ago enviromental health could not determine what it was so the dims unit with the fire brigade came to my home and used a special device to determine what it is, they have concluded that the smell is toluene which is very dangerous to our health as its toxic, now we have to leave our home because of the dangers of this chemical....so what i want to know is how did it get in my home as we havent done anything around the house to cause this and we have lived here for 11 years and secondly how do we get rid of the smell so we can continue to live here healthily....please help im desperate as this has seperated my family, my eldest pregnant daughter has had to leave our home and cannot return on the advice of out doctor....many thanks cathy
