I agree with Linda's comments. We continue to spend millions researching the buildings that contain microbial contaminents and the toxins they are known to produce. Yet, we spend NOTHING studying the effects on human health from these toxins. Many people are very ill. They have difficulty obtaining viable medical help because there is much misinformation being propagated over the matter. Sickbuildings Sick People = Great financial liability for stakeholders of these buildings. While I am pleased they are attempting to understand the buildings, I am skeptical that this endeavor is solely motivated by nobel cause. What appears to be happening over the mold issue is that they are attempting to get these buildings cleaned up without acknowledging or attempting to understand why people are so sick. Clean up the buildings - stop the liability. Don't study the illnesses - deny the liability. Some of this $50M should go toward studying sick humans, NOT just sickbuildings.
This is great news, as our schools, homes, and workplaces, since WWII, are often built improperly, encouraging dampness and the growth of mold and bacteria. The use of sheetrock, engineered lumber, air conditioning, and more modern inventions have led to serious mold problems, especially when combined with energy efficiency (tight buildings). Moisture (condensation, leaks, etc.) develop and become trapped inside walls, attics, and under crawlspaces. Please visit www.schoolmoldhelp.org for more information.
Wonder why they don't have grants for people that are sick and suffering. Nine years now and no help. Linda
