Why does my room smell like nail polish?

[Anonymous]

For the last past day, my room as been smelling of nail polish. What does that mean?

If you haven't spilled any nail polish or left the bottle open, then it might be an air conditioning leak. You probably won't notice small leaks, but if it leaks a lot, it can smell similar to nail polish or paint thinner.

For health reasons, I would have it checked out. A small amount of refrigerant (like Freon) probably won't hurt you, but breathing it over time might cause problems. In the mean time, you should ventilate your room.

Refrigerant Leak

If you don't know what acetone smells like off the top of your head, it's sometimes used as a finger nail polish remover, and it's found in some paints and solvents. If you smell acetone in your home, it's a sign that there could be a refrigerant leak.
