Narrative:
After pulling into the gate and before the doors opened (engines shut down) the area around [row] 2l filled with a very strong toxic chemical type fume. It caused me to cough; hold my breath and try not to breathe more in. My throat and nose burned hours after leaving the aircraft. I felt lightheaded and in the morning I felt fuzzy; I also had a headache. I got off the plane after the door was open to get fresh air. My colleague sitting across from me also noticed the air. These type of events are happening more and more on this aircraft since the summer started. I regret not writing up all events now. That will change.
