We are very, very sorry, at The Center for School Mold Help, for this family's loss and the suffering and loss that Dan unfairly experienced. This type of situation happens all too often in America's schools, government buildings, workplaces and homes. Without laws to prevent these exposures, more good men and women will become disabled, experience unnecessary and extreme suffering and some will lose their lives (SMH). News - Latest Fri, 18 Jul 2008 18:54:05 +0100 http://www.schoolmoldhelp.org/content/view/1273/33/ We question how this new, extensive mold infestation was handled at Corona del Sol High School in Tempe, AZ, where much illness, including unusual cancers and seizure disorders, has been reported.. The Tempe Union High School District (https://www.tuhsd.k12.az.us/view.php?page=5) (AZ) has consistently shown it does not follow acceptable guidelines in its cleanups. The school community should question exactly how the cleanup was done, and demand the receipts that show exactly who did the latest cleanup and what means were used. Patches of mold on walls is normally an indicator that is the tip of the iceberg - behind those walls is usually extensive moisture and mold. Our information is that this school district may have put new rugs on top of old moldy rugs, several years ago, in a cost-saving effort that does not constitute mold remediation (The Center for School Mold Help). School Mold, State-by-State - Arizona Wed, 09 Jul 2008 16:37:50 +0100 http://www.schoolmoldhelp.org/content/view/1238/46/ This media article, written by a noted reporter for the largest newspaper in Canada, one that is nationally read by all, profiles the problems of sick schools in that country. As Director of The Center for School Mold Help, I was interviewed for this article over a year ago, helping the reporter to understand the issues with sick schools. This article will be a watershed moment in Canada, for new approaches to prevent mold and dampness in schools and for addressing that which exists. With their national health care system woefully unable to address environmental illnesses at present, Canadians can now look forward to a government that will do something in its own best interest - prevention of these illnesses by all means possible. The Center for School Mold Help has been pleased to be part of this process. (Susan Brinchman, SMH Director) How do you feel about mold in schools?

Information - Mold Law Tue, 03 Jun 2008 12:01:11 +0100 http://www.schoolmoldhelp.org/content/view/1172/46/ Warning: This chronicle about how a health inspector, devoted to his job, died from a workplace mold exposure will horrify you, but we all need to be aware of just how deadly mold can be. Wendy and Dan Pauluk enjoy happier times, circa 2000. (LV City Life) We encourage you to read this story, study the photos and decide for yourself if it is worth the risk to occupy a moldy environment. We don't think so - but then, we hear of stories just as terrible all year long. CDC and health department warnings do not begin to list the dangers. Regretfully, the health departments of this country are pitifully untrained and unprepared to deal with mold or other toxic exposure problems (SMH). News - Latest Mon, 05 May 2008 19:11:03 +0100
