Smells like MAD ACETONE in apartment hallway

It’s barely even possible to breathe when I leave my apartment. I have no shared air system so my apartment is fine and I’ll just open a window. But goddamn someone making dr00gZ or something ?!? Any other theories? If they were painting or something I’d think theyd have the doors open and try get a breeze going but ironically they are LOCKED instead and they are rarely locked. Sketchiness is afoot?

Could be drug chemistry related, or maybe someone spilled a shit ton of nail polish remover or something.

I don't get those, why are big scary looking claws supposed to be an attractive look on a woman? And how are you supposed to perform basic hygiene tasks with them on?

Ask your neighbours if they notice it too, maybe try and find wich apartment it's comming from It could be anything, don't assume the worst until you have a decent suspicion or evidence

I honestly don’t care what they’re doing I can climb out windows if there ever a fire I’m kind of on the bottom back corner of the building so I couldn’t be trapped especially as I’m at ground level but not below. It’s just annoying holding my breath for 40 feet every time I need to go to my car or something. Also like I said if it’s idiots doing some sketchy shit it could easily end up with the cops knocking on my apartment, and then if I don’t answer it seems sketchy for me. That’s my real concern I’ll prob just hide my stuff. My apartment is a garden of weeden and glass right now. That And a couple other thangs give me the heebie jeebies

Acetone has alot of shop and house uses. If someone was making drugs, it be irresponsible to it stink the halls up like that

If the acetone smells that strong in the hallway, there is a fire hazard in one of the appartments. Acetone is ridiculously flammable.

''Any other theories?''
Dead body? Diabetic person? Freon leak? Alcoholics can put off that smell too as their insides rot. From WebMD⤵⤵⤵ ''If your breath smells like acetone -- the same fruity scent as nail polish remover -- it may be a sign of high levels of ketones (acids your liver makes) in your blood. It’s a problem mainly of type 1 diabetes but also can happen with type 2 if you get a serious condition called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). And it can happen for a few reasons not related to diabetes, including keto diets, fasting, and heavy drinking''

Whatever solvent it is they need to be venting that shit and not gassing the building.

Acetone does not have a particularly offensive odor

I'd call the landlord and add "I don't know who is up to what but that much acetone is very probably a fire hazard."
Landlords, like renters, don't like their building bursting into flames.
It could be as innocent as a guy painting large surfaces with a specialty lacquer or glueing a lot of PVC, or it could be a drug lab, like meth, which may have a acetone/ammonia odor.
Acetone basically is propane with an added group making the whole molecule much more reactive, and therefore much more likely to catch fire. Acetone in quantity is subject to vapor explosions, like natural gas explosions.

That means that if it STINKS, its either not acetone or you are at concentrations possibly near the lower explosive limit.
Acetone or no, its a VOC (Volatile Organic Chemicals) inhalation hazard.
There are dangerous chemicals that don't stink in deadly concentrations, but the nose typically translates unhealthy concentration of most chems as a stink, so THAT it stinks likely means its an unhealthy concentration to breathe.
I have a little bottle of butyric acid, the stuff Sea Shepherd drone drops onto whaler ships, that stinks of rancid cat vomit and far decayed corpses, oddly for me it has a not too offensive scent while others would puke at smelling it.
I'm like "yeah, basically French Cheese" and friends be like "ACK! CLOSE THAT HELL BOTTLE!"

I would guess a bottle of it spilled, like nail polish remover, in the hallway and now it has turned to vapor, which yeah, dangerous!!
Maybe they're cleaning their cocaine?
Every time I smell acetone I smell cocaine and vice versa
Other day I was waiting for a script at the pharmacy. Lady in front gets her meds, turns away, I smell cocaine immediately and start thinking about burying my face in a mountain of it. Then the pharmacist calls my name and I snap out of it.
I'm guessing lady just redid her nails or took them off...although she could have just done cocaine.
