County Board of Assessors Vacate Moldy Building.

[Guest guest]

" Workers in the office blamed the mold infestation for

allergy and upper respiratory problems, and perhaps even

more serious health problems.

" Everybody has been to a doctor with upper respiratory

problems primarily, but also with sinusitis and gallbladder

and thyroid trouble, " Chief Appraiser said.

None of the health issues has been positively linked to the

mold infestation, said, but the types of molds found

in the 1960s structure are known to cause allergic reactions

and upper respiratory infections. "

Workers in the office blamed the mold infestation for

allergy and upper respiratory problems, and perhaps even

more serious health problems.

" Everybody has been to a doctor with upper respiratory

problems primarily, but also with sinusitis and gallbladder

and thyroid trouble, " Chief Appraiser said.

None of the health issues has been positively linked to the

mold infestation, said, but the types of molds found

in the 1960s structure are known to cause allergic reactions

and upper respiratory infections.

" Even before the mold was discovered, we had an unusually

high absentee rate due to illness, " said. ....

Smart said...he's been told by certified mold inspector
