Guest guest Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Hey , As far as some of the information on here being " BOGUS " I find that quite interesting. If you don't mind introduce yourself and what brings you to the group. Have you been exposed in a water damaged building and you are dealing with medical conditions as a result of? Just an observer? Or are you a professional in one of many environmental fields, if so what certifications do you hold and who are you certified by? It's always nice to see a difference of opinion that maybe we can all learn from. I think the more professionals communicating helps everyone in the long run. Hopefully we can do this in a nonaggressive manner and keep it on a professional level.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 I echo the sentiments of KC, the owner/moderator. This board is an outgrowth of human misery as a result of indoor air quality, or lack thereof. You will find people who don't have a lot of formal education but are sick and who research and work hard to share what they know to help alleviate the human suffering of fellow humans. You will find nurses, some docs, lawyers, microbiologists, teachers and office workers. You will find parents of children suffering from mold exposure in their classrooms. You will find builders, victims of poorly constructed homes, and those who " lurk " just to watch what others have to say. The spectrum of the contributors is wide but mostly sincere and well meaning. There are people working as activists who are trying to get legislation passed to change working and building conditions. I am sure I have left some important groups out. To them I apologize. To you, I will suggest that if you feel the need to " disagree, please do not be disagreeable. " May the need for this board, cease, soon. There are folks on this board reaching out to others only to help. And, doing their best, always. We might find updated material that might correct an error, but it is done kindly, and in good taste. Welcome aboard. > > Seems to me that the quality of information posted here varies wildly. > The technical stuff can be presented in a way to make it sound > convincing, but is actually wrong.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 I wish to apologize for my arrogance. I only meant to say that my personal experience demonstrates that the water mentioned in air conditioner " coils " is very misleading, in that this water almost never actually occurs. If he meant the evaporator coils, then the supposed infection must exist at below 32 degrees. If he meant the fan coils, then no water exists unless one applies it. Certainly, situations can occur whereby water may contain harmful and exist in the airstream, but in the usual and normal operation of the air conditioning equipment, this fear is unwarranted. My reaction ( a bit knee-jerk ) was the exploitation of fear as being a built-in design feature of air conditioners in general when, in fact, it is not.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Bboppalou: Let me tell you of this person you call " Jeff guy. " I am Doug Haney, and I wrote one book; the first in the country titled, " Toxic Mold! Toxic Enemy! " Jeff May, one of my most respected friends and is the author/co-author with his wife Connie of I believe, four or more books on the following subjects: May's Healthy Home Tips (http://www.press.jhu.edu/books/title_pages/9472.html) My House Is Killing Me!: The Home Guide for Families with Allergies and Asthma C. May foreword by M. Samet, M.D. My Office Is Killing Me!: The Sick Building Survival Guide C. May The Mold Survival Guide: For Your Home and for Your Health C. May and Connie L. May with a contribution by J. Ouellette, M.D., and E. , M.D. To my recollection, this man is more dedicated to saving lives from the hazards of unhealthy environments than any other environmental health writer and experienced IAQ professional living today. You certainly are entitled to your opinion of anyone visiting the " Sickbuildings " group, and I will take the liberty of doing the same. What you have stated and the way you have stated it comes from someone who is totally ignorant of the facts behind the words he speaks. People come here more often than not as victims of unhealthy environments seeking to find answers, express ideas, share research and experiences, and for many other excellent reasons. Some people visit to downgrade, ridicule, and have subversive intentions to undermine what is being accomplished by those willing to assist. Your comments remind me of the latter. With that said, and should you be a professional visitor in some manner, be it a medical doctor, scientific researcher, insurance agent, or other formal discipline, let's debate the facts. You bring yours, and I'll bring my 22 years of exploration within the molecular sciences and we will let the visitors to this website determine that you and others such as you have not even started to do their homework. I am ready and willing to take on anyone in the world that does not believe that the accumulative properties of unhealthy environments do not pose an adverse, and more often than not, serious health threat to humans. Anytime you feel sir, that I am not capable of satisfactorily proving it beyond a reasonable doubt, show me differently with what you have in your background, and I will literally take pleasure in clobbering you with the true facts and, within seconds of your challenge. The initial challenge being that " immune competent people are " rarely " subject to the unhealthy physical affects of molds and mycotoxins. " I'll be glad to weigh my research talents against yours. Otherwise, if you do not know something... study hard until you do, and then your mindset might change considerably along with your attitude.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 This may not be a problem in large commercial air conditioners due to the fact that the air into them tends to be filtered better, so they stay cleaner, than the smaller air conditioners that we are talking about here: window air conditioners and through-the-wall air conditioners, like the ones in rooms, apartments, hotels and motels. Look inside one...it won't be a waste of time. All of them are very moldy unless they have been maintain meticulously. Check it out, then come back to us and report what you find. > > Seems to me that the quality of information posted here varies wildly. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I guess this means that all the people I know who can smell mold when they turn on their A/C and who have become seriously ill from it, actually don't have a problem. And I can run my HVAC all I want, and not pay attention to the musty odors it emits. I have no technical background and have never looked inside an air conditioner, but I know that water and accumulated dust can be a problem, and that the combination of the two creates a perfect nursery for mold. I don't know where the water condenses or where the dust accumulates, but I know they are there in many A/C units. Judith --- In , richard plumb <bboppalou@...> wrote: > > The wetness of the coils.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Goodness came to the site to see any new information today. Welcome to the group . As you can see we are a very close group and protective of all here. Many of us have been here guess over 10 years now. We have worked so hard during the years-- so many are exhausted, suffering and we rely so much on the educated people that have been our life line.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I suspect that since Mr. Plumb is a maintinence person as stated that he has been filled with all the excuses he is to tell the tenents as to why they are crazy when they make these claims about thier air conditioner. I know he says he will leave the group. If not done so yet I urge him to stay and learn. It seems he can discuss this issue without anger so if that be the case there is much for him to learn about what he does for a career from some real pros. So lets hope he opens his mind because he of all people need to know these things.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I don't know a lot about air conditioners but window air conditioners always get too moldy for me after one summer of use. They don't drain properly. They accumulate standing water very quickly. The rain also gets in them. Since there are mold spores in any air, I assume it's that standing water that gets mold/bacteria. All I can say is, I bought a portable a/c this year for that reason, figuring that it would be cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
