To Wayne and Carl re: Screwy test results

[Guest guest]

Hi Wayne and Carl, thanks for the responses.

First Carl. You're making me beg here, huh? Okay,

what are the 4 ways (was that the number?) you COULD

explain my screwy results?

For both of you: My potential lawyer very much wants

these test results and whether I get accepted by a

lawyer seems to hinge on them. I already got turned

down by one guy who said I had a great case, and as

soon as he saw the results he flat out said he wasn't

interested. And the rest are leaning towards the same

response it seems.

For Wayne-and Carl?

THe landlord, after 5 years of my saying I had an

immune response and to please get rid of the mold

because I was getting sicker and sicker as time went

by...well, he finally spackled and painted over the

wet spots and the mold. Which leaves me in an even

more screwed position. I know this is a weird

question, but is there any way of getting the paint

and spackle off those areas so that a building

inspector can see there's a problem? They won't come

out unless they can see and smell the mold.

Ridiculous but true. I have letters to my landlord

from the last year begging him to do something, saying

that paint wasn't enough...nevertheless, he has

painted it:(

Ideas?? I really need help now because I have to give

my `evidence package' to a lawyer at the end of next

week.

Thanks again, sorry to be a pain,

Harriet

Harriet,

Every room, building and even hospitals have mold.

The EPA and IAQ

Councils (Indoor Air Quality) are pushing the

government to push

health standards for most types of buildings

(apartments,

townhomes,single family). However, ever individual

person's

tolerance to certain levels of mould contamination is

different.

Certain indoor levels that make me terribly sick may

not even make

you sneeze.

Swab and Bulk sampling of mold infested areas will

always yield a

very high count (off the charts). Air sampling is

really a last

resort to prove you have a mold problem indoors. Using

a spore trap

in your home to collect air samples has many factors

involved: Air

Temp, Humidity, Volume of Air being tested, activity

in the room. A

lawyer will not back anything with so many variables

behind it since

it wont hold up in court.

If you want your land lord to pay attention and state

officials,

look for the mold in your apartment. You dont need a

mold inspector

to find moisture and moisture is where the mould is.

However, I

would suggest hiring a certified remediator to remove

materials

covered in mold.
