Re: Re: What to do short of moving again?

nne,

It sounds like you need to protect yourself only in the front

entrance. Depending on the construction of the elevator shaft the

smell (whether mold, bacteria, or something else) could be on

any of the floors or even from the basement. As the elevator

moves up and down it pushes and pulls air through the shaft.

So, the question is, do you also smell the odor at the elevator on

your floor? If not then the odor souce is most likely limited to the

entrance and you only have to worry about it when you are in the

entrance.

Because you are not reacting in your unit you are NOT cross-

contaminating your unit. Which is a clue that it is not mold spores

or fragments but more likely the chemical emantions from mold

growth that you are smelling. Assuming it actually is mold and not

any of the other baker's dozen possible pollutants.

That's the good news. The " bad " news is because it is very limited

there is even less chance the management will do anything.

Does anybody else have problems? If there are sufficient

numbers who will notify management then maybe they will do

something. Hopefully it will be more than hiring a " pump jockey "

pulling a few samples and reading the history of the world in the

mold spores (like tea leaves).

Sorry for the sarcasm but I do mean this seriously. Based on the

information you've posted this is not a major issue for you as your

exposure is so limited that it is likely of little significance. And the

mystery won't be solved by a few spore measuring samples.

Yes Carl, in my unit it seems to be fine. Its in The front entrance

and I have to stand there and wait for the elevator. Not sure exactly

where its coming from but I sure can smell it.

Doc`s told me my body is full of toxins I hate to be breathing in more

as I`am trying to rid myself of this crap. Right now I`am just holding my breath

as I wait.
