Narrative:
Strong odorless fumes that were caused at a high power setting during takeoff and climb until about 5;000 feet. Odor less fumes caused irritation in lunges that caused coughing.identification: once weight off wheels and in the climb till about 5;000 feet there was a strong odor less fumes that irritated lunges and caused coughing.cause: logbook had write up the day before describing strong fumes at high power setting and maintenance found cmc code about electronic bay valve 2 failed several times. Which was then meled 21-9-1.response: communication between crew and determining that it may be related to the mel in the logbook and that we would consult with maintenance once we arrived in ZZZ1 and would refuse to accept the airplane until fixed.suggestions: would have liked to consult with maintenance if the electronic bay valve that was failing closed was really the source of the fumes or if it was coming from somewhere else.
