The Center for School Mold Help

Although SMH is concerned about schools being sited near toxic outdoor sites, we wonder if the EPA have the same concern about indoor air quality?  Children spend far more time indoors and we know that damp buildings are causing NEW cases of asthma in otherwise healthy people (WHO, 2009). Mandates are needed now to protect our vulnerable children from damp and moldy  school buildings. (SMH)

It is important to know that allergies and sensitivities can be very costly.  Often people who are exposed to molds become allergic to foods that never negatively affected them before.  (SMH)

SMH has been following this story for over three years. This is the latest update on school mold in Greenwich, CT, at Hamilton Ave. School. (SMH)

Mold experts are found, scattered across the nation. It pays to do one's homework in the selection of any expert or physician. This is what the Rhino Times published, Aug., 2009, regarding a " mold expert" Linda May, RN, who traveled to North Carolina in June, paid for by parents at a mold-ridden school. We are concerned that the truth about the dangers of mold may be muddied by the rest of the information in the article. Yes, it is dangerous to have indoor mold and damp buildings, according to all authoritative sources - such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the US EPA, the Institute of Medicine, the US GAO, the CDC, and Health Canada, among others. The state of the art regarding testing for mold, in buildings and humans, is constantly under development. As with anything important and controversial, be sure to verify any information you are told and get reliable references for all experts you consider hiring. (SMH)
