## Discrepancy

UPON ARRIVING AT THE AIRPORT, NOTICED A MUSTY & OILY ODOR IN THE CABIN & COCKPIT.  THIS SMELL PERSISTED & BECAME STRONGER WITH APU USAGE & WHILE INFLIGHT.  UPON LANDING WE BOTH FELT A BURNING SENSATION IN BOTH OUR EYES.  THE OILY ODOR IS MUCH STRONGER IN THE COCKPIT THAN THE CABIN.  R & R APU IAW AMM 49-10-01-900-802.  OPERATIONAL & LEAK CHECKS WERE SATISFACTORY.  ALSO COMPLIED WITH CHECK & DECONTAMINATION OF THE AIR CONDITIONING SYS AFTER POLLUTION, WORK DONE IAW AMM 05-50-00-700-801.
