Plumbing – Do PVC glue, cement leave traces

cpvcdrainplumbingpvc

Before a month, I bought a domestic air conditioner for my bedroom and the person who came to install it, used somewhere PVC glue with that strong toxic smell (you can smell glue without to have to turn on the air condition).

I don't know if they generally use that glue to install an air condition.

The smell stayed for days and the air condition was also periodically on (not for very long, only 10 hours in total because there was a glue smell in the air).

Now that smell left and I was wondering if it's safe to turn on the air condition and sleep or there are any toxic remainders (in the air) ?

It was the glue outgassing a normal part of the process, the pvc was probably for a condensate drain (normal). If you would left it running it may have out gassed faster but yes it is safe to use now.
