NYC Guidelines on Assessment and Remediation

[Guest guest]

When I was looking for the EPA info, I thought it would also be good

to post information about the New York City Guidelines for

Remediation.

Here's one part of it. (I wish I had known this when my family was

exposed.)

1.3 Medical Relocation

Infants (less than 12 months old), persons recovering from recent

surgery, or people with immune suppression, asthma, hypersensitivity

pneumonitis, severe allergies, sinusitis, or other chronic

inflammatory lung diseases may be at greater risk for developing

health problems associated with certain fungi. Such persons should be

removed from the affected area during remediation (see Section 3,

Remediation). Persons diagnosed with fungal related diseases should

not be returned to the affected areas until remediation and air

testing are completed.
