The paint has fallen off the dampest wall in our house and there is a green coating underneath with fluffy crystals. It smells awful. Sort of chemically/ oniony smell.
This paint was painted straight on to the concrete walls at the turn of c1900 and is a dull green colour.
Could it contain arsenic and if so, where can we get it tested? Every surface of this dividing wall is painted with it.
I have phoned Environmental Health but cannot get past the receptionist.
