Janet's basement pictures

December 10, 2002

Hi Janet,

I just looked at your pictures on the sickbuilding site. I believe you are

being represented by a lawyer. Have him look up web sites like University of

Minnesota Deparment of Environmental Health and Safety (www.dehs.umn.edu)

where there is info on mold in water contaminated buildings and the health

problems it can cause. Other sites are the NIOSH page, where there is an

on-line book titled something like " Indoor Air Quality: a Guide for Building

Owners and Facility Managers " . Another possibility is the American Red

Cross.

This building does not just have a humidity problem. It has quite

obviously had water over at least part of the floor, which has wicked up the

plasterboard walls. The black mold on the outside is probably matched to the

same height on the inside grey cardboard backing. The more reputable web

sites and health authorities recommend all flooded drywall be removed as

soon as feasible to at least one foot above the water line as the first step

in remediation to prevent these well documented health problems.

I certainly agree with you that any manager who doubts that this is a

health problem should be forced to spend as much time there as those made

sick. Denial of workers' comp shows only the ignorance of the workers comp

hearing officer, the same situation I faced for a less severe problem.
