Help! New here - in sick building at OHSU

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I've been working in the oldest building at OHSU for 1 month and two

days into my new job I began having headaches and dizziness. Two

weeks after starting I found out that 4 other employees (out of 10)

have similar symptoms that have even progressed to asthma, pneumonia

and other lung issues. I have always been healthy as a horse, but now

seem to have asthma as i am coughing all night - and during the day.

I am constantly dizzy, fatigued and " sick feeling " . The only air

quality test OHSU acceded to do was for carbon dioxide, temperature,

carbon monoxide, and humidity. They also " begged " my co-workers to

please not call OSHA. I find this woefully inadequate and their

proposed next step is to shampoo the carpets - still inadequate IMO. I

have left a message with the EPA for a specialist to call me but am

confused at the next step to take. What should I (we) do next?

Thanks,

Tammy
