(Port Angeles) -- A report on toxic mold at the Clallam County

courthouse has come back negative. In a report to county

commissioners, an enviromental testing company from Federal Way gave

the all clear for bad mold in the basement of the building. But the

report did show there were some mushroom spores in the building. It

also found high levels of fiberglass fibers, dye dust associated

with computer printers and high moisture in some carpeting. The

company says there were some elevated levels of a type of mold spore

that can case an allergic reaction, but is not considered toxic. The

tests were ordered after workers in the courthouse started feeling

ill with symptoms that could be related to toxic mold. A mold

sniffing dog indicated there was some mold present.
