If family is getting headaches during exposure to recently-refinished wood floors fumes (polyurethane), what should we do? do headaches= brain damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Leave and aerate: Common side effect of polyurethane- leave the premisies. Brain damage would be rare, but possible after prolonged exposure in a confined space.
