Hello, I do my share of sick building investigations, and have been

involved in asbestos, lead, Indoor Air or Environmental Quality for

nearly a decade. I wouold be very interested in knowing more about

your work, perhaps you could e-mail me your CV. I currently refer

all my work to E Johanning or Favaata. the spelling might be

off. My clients are often waiting for far too long before they can

see a qualified specialist. In fact I have a case now with suspect

mold, but I believe this person is suffering chemical

hypersensitivity, as she works in the fragrance industry for ten

years.

What are your thoughts
