World Health Org (WHO) weighs in on Damp Indoor Spaces and Health

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

Below is the link to the May 2008 WHO Newsletter addressing indoor air

quality with a focus being on mould, assessment, health ramifications, etc. I

can't pull key snippets out of this doc to cut and paste to show you. But it

is well worth the read. To paraphrase, their is a toxic soup in water damaged

buildings. As such, one cannot merely examine one toxic, irritant or

allergic component at a time and determine human illness is not plausible to

occur.

Someone should call the US Chamber of Commerce and tell them they are WRONG

for promoting the concept that reports of severe illness from exposure in

WDB's is merely a result of " trial lawyers, media hype and Junk Science " .

(concluding sentence of US Chamber of Commerce paper)
