What Could Be The Effect Of Prolonged Exposure To Kerosene Fumes For A Cancer Patient?
I have a boiler run by kerosene for heat and hot water, I have smelled fumes and the kerosene smell for a col yrs and told my landlord. The unit quits a lot even if there's fuel in it. And last weekend it got so bad in the house that I was sick and the ems came. I was brought to the hospital and they said that there was a density in my lungs and could possibly be chemical burns...what about prolonged exposure? I am also a cancer patient just starting chemo. I have also tried to contact city officials to report this ti no avail.
