    Not sure if this is the best place to post this, but here goes.

    Last year we had a Kerosene leak outside the bedroom wall and had to move out of the house while everything was repaired. The insurance compay hired in an environmental company to carry out the work, they removed about 12 blocks from the outside wall and dug away a good bit of earth where the kerosene had leaked. After 2 months they carried out an air quality test in the bedroom which came back safe. That was 10 months ago, the porblem is that i can still smell kerosene in the room when the doors and windows are closed for a few hours, if i leave a book or sock in the corner where the issue was it smells of kerosene after a day or so. They are saying that it will go away and its not an issue as the air quality test proves, but surely if i can smell kerosene im breathing in its fumes too. Should i trust the air quality test or get a second opinion?

    I had a small spliggae last year, dufus overfilled the tank, the stink was unreal. I filled the area, with bags of sand to soak it up,and then i removed the sand, and covered the area again. seemed to do the trick for me.
