Guest guest Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 I am a newbie to the list and have been reading all the information that it probides. I feel compelled to share my story...I rent a building that I have my business in. It is approx. 200' long and 40' wide and it has a dirt floor basement. This is an old building and the heating system is the old type floor furnace and the furnace is in the basement on a concrete slab. We have 1 furnace grate in the middle of the room that heats our shop. The smell that comes up from the basement is horrible. We have went down to the basement and there is NO ventilation and the floor is very damp almost like mud. There is different types of mold growing everywhere. There is a corner that is completely black and then around the furnace is almost like this gooey ball type substance on top of all the dirt. We have headaches, hacky cough, chest pain, etc...We have stressed our concerns to our landlord but all we've received from him is a notice of our rent going up. We are located in Kansas. Humidity is high and we have no central air to remove humidity. Any ideas, questions, comments would be greatly appreciated. We've contacted EPA, OSHA, KDHE and have just been told to call somewhere else. Thank you for your help. Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
