I have been working in an office for over 6 years and have developed "motion sickness" type migraines. My mental acuity is waning and I cannot concentrate. I am always nauseous and have heartburn as well. The odor is not there all the time but I believe it may have affected my health. My office is directly above the area of the basement where the washing machine is installed and this septic issue has been there since its inception. I just found out from the building manager that its my bosses washing machine that is causing the issue - that the drain trap was not installed properly and that its been causing a septic smell all along. Now I'm wondering if this odor or the gases from the odor could have affected my health.
