The college officials are conducting remediation? Are they qualified? Are they following OSHA guidelines? If the HVAC system is contaminated it may require OSHA level IV clean-up by qualified professionals. Was initial testing conducted with a benchmark for comparative analysis? If indoor mold counts are higher indoors than outside, it could be a factor in health consequences.
Richard Greer made some good points. I would like to add that those occupants exposed to the fungi should be aware that there are few physicians who understand how to diagnose or treat fungi related health problems. Also those who deny possible health consequences of fungi exposure need to consider that at one time experts said smoking was harmless, hormone replacment therapy was safe, Vioxx was safe and on and on. we are dealing with chemicals. exposure to mycotoxins has potential health consequences.
Mr. Vogt is correct regarding physicians’ expertise in diagnosing ill effects from mold exposure. I suggest that individuals reading the plight of the Kentucky Professors obtain copies of the following: David Straus, Ed. Sick Building Sydrome, Advances in Applied Microbiology, Volume 55, 2004 and Kaye Kilburn, Ed., Molds and Mycotoxins, Heldref Publication, 2003. The health problems from indoor mold exposure in damp buildings are well chronicled in these two publications.
