    I recently started tomatoes from seed. About one week after they germinated and I removed the plastic lid, my husband decided to seal the cement floor in an area adjacent to where I am growing my 20 + flats of assorted plants, including the two flats of tomatoes. The fumes are quite strong. The floor has needed multiple coats, so the fumes have been present for at least three days. I've got fans running in the room and have ventilated it as much as possible, and there is a fan directing the fumes out another window, but the odor is still fairly strong. All the "babies" that have germinated are still looking good. My question is, will there be any risk of eating the tomatoes from seedlings exposed to the fumes?
    Thanks, wd
