ACOEM Does Not Appear To Want Outside Comment Before Finalizing Mold Guidelines

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

Seems ACOEM is not interested in any public, physician or IAQ professional

comment prior to finalizing their new mold guidelines. Wonder if the US

Chamber of Commerce and the Manhattan Institute think-tank are going to pay

the revisors to have another " lay translation " of these written to be shared

with judges, like they did for the last one?

A.. January 21, 2011, Message from NIEHS to another concerned individual

besides myself regarding the unveiling of ACOEM's new mold guidelines:: " I

talked with an ACOEM staff member, and the revised version of the position

paper is not quite ready for publication. Once the paper is finalized, it

will be posted on the public website. According to the staff member, this

should take place in several weeks. I hope this information is helpful. " (I

would like to think it is going to be posted with a " comment " button, but am

not hopeful)
