ROMULUS,

Mich. (AP) - The U.S. Department of Transportation says mold and

moisture problems persist at Detroit Metropolitan Airport's air traffic

control tower and it could take up to three years to fix them.

The update on the problems at the airport in Romulus came Thursday

from the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, an independent agency that

reviews whistleblower complaints filed by civilian government employees.

The Federal Aviation Administration is working to fix the problems,

which first were identified in 2004. Efforts to fix the tower and base

building include replacing the roof, putting in new drywall and

installing new ceiling tiles and carpet.

Some former and current air traffic controllers at the airport have said mold

exposure caused health problems.
