Concern about geese is far more prevalent than concern about human health, in CT and nationwide.
"Mold spores were found in the lungs of the geese after a necropsy." (myrecordjournal.com)
Geese are found dead in CT and the news covers it, the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection is brought in the dead geese are taken to a pathology lab and analyzed ... and the spores that killed them, from aspergillus molds, are described as deadly. But when children and staff are exposed to these same types of spores, commonly found in moldy school buildings, their illnesses and deaths are not investigated nor are they (or their loved ones) taken seriously. Physicians do not examine their lungs for mold spores. Sick staff are said to be hysterical and are often harassed by their employers. In fact, the offending, toxic schools are kept open, to poison and infect others, for many decades.
It is NOT rare, as reported in this article, that humans contract aspergillosis. This happens all the time in moldy buildings.
Why is the mold illness not recognized by our physicians or courts, very often? Why, it is too political and costly to the building owners, some say.
When will our government agencies care about humans more than geese? For shame.(SMH)

SMH site visitors might consider contacting US Senator Bill Nelson (FL), who experienced just how terrible conditions were inside a recently built, heavily water-damaged, moldy, sick federal courthouse in Tampa, recently. The purpose? To let him know that students are suffering just as much, if not more, inside our nation's thousands of sick schools, often with little chance of escape. We think most legislators need to be educated on this topic. You can help, by contacting your own legislators and those who might also understand, from first-hand experience, like Sen. Nelson. Please direct all of them to our website and add your own story to the email. We commend Senator Nelson for speaking out about this courthouse, see below (SMH). |

The Center for School Mold Help is concerned that this Stimulus Package be administered in an unprecedented, most responsible manner - that any school repair funds are provided with full oversight, ensuring that schools with a history of leaks and/or mold are remediated properly during the repairs, so that mold problems do not spread and make the occupants sicker. Just fixing leaks will not solve mold problems. Dry mold is just as toxic and more easily airborne than wet mold, though it is dormant and cannot grow. We encourage our site visitors to express similar concerns about the use of these school repair funds to your Congressional representatives. (SMH)
How the Stimulus Package Breaks Down:
"Education
•$54 billion in state fiscal relief to prevent cuts in state aid to school districts, with up to $10 billion for school repair; $26 billion to school districts to fund special education and the No Child Left Behind law for students in K-12; $17 billion to boost the maximum Pell Grant by $500 to $5,350; $2 billion for Head Start." (USA Today, Feb. 15, 2009)
Read several articles from USA Today and the Cornell Daily Sun, Ithaca, NY, below
Read what the American Federation of Teachers has to say about it...
State Governors may allocate funds for repair of school buildings (see below):
"IN GENERAL.-The Governor shall use 18.2 percent of the State's allocation
under section 14001 for public safety and other government services,
which may include assistance for elementary, and secondary education and
public institutions of higher education and for-modernization,
renovation, or repair of public school facilities and institutions of
higher education facilities, including modernization, renovation, and
repairs that are consistent with a recognized green building rating
system." (TITLE XIV)
