Chemicals, no. What does she want to do?

We had our kitchen remodeled last year. The finish on the new cabinets was
very strong smelling for the first month or so (even though they were
shipped to us already finished). Second, several of the adhesives used were
very stinky. Are these odors potentially dangerous? I really don't know
but I'd be very cautious.


Don't know about modern cabinet finishes and carpets and such, but 30
years ago, the outgassing from those items, stored in a staging
warehouse near an apartment project I was working on, would nearly knock
me on my ass every time I went to pick up a load. I was only in there
for maybe 20 minutes at a time, but would leave with burning eyes and a
headache. Note that this WAS in the summer, and the warehouse, though
dry, was probably 100 degrees inside.
