MIAMI (AP) - A new study finds extensive mold contamination in Miami's historic

downtown federal courthouse.

The study was done by a private environmental testing company hired by the

attorney for the family of a judge who died in 2006 of a lung ailment. Attorney

Alan Goldfarb says the study confirms numerous areas of dangerous types of mold

at the W. Dyer Courthouse.

The study makes 15 recommendations, including closing off some areas of the

75-year-old courthouse for cleaning. But it does not recommend closing the

building completely. The chief judge over South Florida's federal courts has

already closed some sections of the building based on earlier mold reports.

Some workers are moving into a new 14-story courthouse across the street. That

building is three years behind schedule but should become fully operational in

the coming months.
