Guest guest Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Hi, I am new to the group. I have been reading recent items. My child has been sick at school, and the school plans to take up the old smelly carpeting soon, which is great, BUT I think they have NO plans for removing it safely, and told me that they are going with standard removal procedures. I am a little concerned that this could make my child more sick, as we have already had to deal with two or three sinus infections this year already. I am dealing with a private school administration that knows nothing about sick buildings vs clean buildings. They had a " mold inspection " done which showed a fairly good spore count, but that is all they looked for. Should I try to get them to wait until summer to do the removal, or is it better to go ahead and get a linoleum floor NOW even if their procedures are terrible? Are they gonna spread microbes and allergens? Which is worse, keeping the old carpeting around, or removing it badly? I do have an air purifier in the child's classroom, and the school refuses to allow any more testing. I hope they might let me hang around to make sure the air purifier is on after the work is finished, but the school just isn't very cooperative.
