I half 3 large onions and place them in bowls with a small amount of water (cut side up ) they absorb the fumes 👍

Yes, very bad. Have to use eco or clay paints wherever possible.

Yes, really badly, especially if I have to sleep near anything that is newly painted. Certain light does it as well and noise....
