Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Carl, you seem to be one of the few people on IAQ who " gets it " . The cases of hypersensitivity you are dealing with are going to have to learn that they cannot rely on objective testing to determine if a place is safe for them. I located a spore plume in Dr Marinkovich's office that went squarely across the middle of the room and through the receptionists window. I could sit safely on either side of it but couldn't be directly in the plume. Spore plumes swirl through an area just like cigarette smoke. One step to either side and you can miss it. The only way IAQ people are going to avoid endless arguments with hypersensitive people is to agree that you can only guarantee the area that is mutually agreed upon for remediation up to a level that a " normal " person can tolerate. If you remove the containment around the agreed upon area, even if it is the entire house, and the spore counts go up, it's coming from somewhere else and there may be nothing you can do about it. I was driven out of a house by a spore plume that wasn't even on the property. You are going to see a lot of this. Unless you have a mutual understanding that there can be colonies hidden below cement slabs, or in community sewer systems, or in a neighbors house that can still drive a hypersensitive person to an unacceptable inflammatory response, there will be no understanding of the success or failure of remediation. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
