#582 - 12/30/03 12:12 PM school mold?
Georgia Georgia Do It Yourselfer Registered: 12/30/03 Posts: 1 Loc: Columbus, GA USA	I need your help. A co-worker who has been sick with respitory/Allergy problems for the past month+ has just been informed that she has a hearing loss that may be able to be corrected with surgery. We are both teachers who work at a "sick" school. We have a high absentee rate with teachers and students. The teachers always have some type of respitory or allergy problems among other illnesses. Many of us believe it is the black mold we see creeping out of our air conditioning vents. So, first - what can we do to verify if it is black mold and second how can we determine the extent of our problem? Any help is appreciated. ------------------ Concerned _________________________ Concerned

Demand to have an expert come in to do some investigating. ------------------ Bart Blainey, B.E.R.

Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	To school mold: My daughter attends school in south florida,and although staff and parents have complained for years, the school district has denied any problems with mold at our school.My daughter had a series of unexplained health problems such as "huge" hives, asthma (she is eight and never exhibited symptoms before)constant URI, forgetfulness, and the drs. couldn't determine the source. Interestingly enough, and teacher new to our school was having the same issues and went to the same drs. office. my daughter had a test run called "toxic mold panel". I suggest that ALL of you get to the drs. now and do the same.She has tested positive for toxic mold, and other staff are in the process of testing. School boards have no business subjecting our children and our teachers(staff) to such a dangerous environment. Maybe President Bush shoukd worry less about " no child left behind" and concentrate on "No child left unable to breathe and function" due to their negligence.

If people like you keep up the pressure and continue to provide evidence of what is really happening, one day hopefully soon, the powers that be will have to take notice. ------------------ Bart Blainey, B.E.R.

Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	I would like to see a lot more info posted on this mold issue. I knew in a vague sort of way that mold was dangerous, but never would I have thought that it could be deadly. The drs. in the south florida area seem to be aware that school mold is a hot topic, and they have even admitted to me that they have other children in their practices that are currently being affected/treated. They are also reluctant to become involved in a battle with the school board. I wonder if this were affecting their own children if they would be so ready to dismiss it out of hand.I am very annoyed!
