## Discrepancy

IT IS STILL NOTICEABLE IN THE AIR BUT MUCH WORSE WHEN A/C IS ON GROUND, LAV WAS SERVICED AND STILL SMELLED IT.  UPON ARRIVAL INITIAL EVALUATION FOUND NO UNUSUAL SMELLS.  INSPECTED OVERHEAD BINS, SEAT POCKETS, LAVS, AND GALLEY AREAS INCLUDING CARGO BINS.  SERVICED LAVS, RAN A/C PACKS ON GROUND AND FOUND NO ODORS OR SMELLS, OK FOR SERVICE.  RELEASED A/C.
