something irritating in the air (heating system) 200 1986

I have resisted posting this question because it seems like an imagined problem, but here goes.... I had the blower motor re-done 2 years ago and ever since I have noticed, with the heat on full (the control is busted so it's always full hot) i am ever so slightly aware of a my eyes getting irritated-like you're at a chlorinated pool or have stayed up a long time. It seems like a crazy idea but it doesn't seem to happen in other cars, as far as i have been in others, in the winter. I have just started using heat again this year so that's why it's on my mind. I dont have any loss of coolant - but is it possible to have a slight leak that would put a vapor into the blower? Or with the AC system - is there any way conceivably that a refrigerant leak could somehow come into the cabin?

As far fectched as these questions could be, i thought i'd give them a shot. If anyone has heard of anything like this or have the technical savvy to explain the possibilities it would be great.
