mold levels in the air..?

[Guest guest]

I have a question..

I know there are no federal standards for mold air lvls PPM, but is

there a generally accepted standard? I read one construction site

that said no more than 700ppm for mold in the air...

The reason i ask is, our NAvy housing inspector lady called me and

told me the results of the air samples after our 'remediation' was

done....

She said before remediation there were over 2500 spores PPM in the

air, and after remediation there were just over 900.

However... The a/c rip out was uncontained, and the wall removal(and

a/c rip out, both) took them less than an hour. Combined. When they

said the house had been cleared, and we were allowed back in to

unlock the house, they had the closet door blocked off w/ plastic.

Nothing else. Nothing covered, no containment area beyond the closet

put up. And it would be impossible for them to do the work they

needed to w/ just the doorway blocked, because its s amll closet w/

no ventilation. they wouldnt have had room to work or air to

breathe... Every time i go home now i have an asthma attack and end

up with a horrible headache. My mom walks in for 10 mins and has a

horrible headache. We've had to throw out our mattresses, and

couches.. everythings getting packed up to move, but Im concerned

about whoever gets stuck w/ this house after we move. And whats the

best way to ensure surfaces(like our entertainment center) are

cleaned well enough, where spores would have settled as they were

walking by with contaminated materials?

I've seriously considered calling a lawyer and the newspaper, but

want to wait till after we move out because housing can be very

particular about move outs(they get really stickler bout how clean

the house is. im talkin white-glove type inspections).. and i dont

want to tick them off and have them refuse to clear us from housing,

which would then hinder us from getting our housing allowance(and

therefore be unable to pay rent at the place we've rented).

we've been living at my moms house, and while my headaches arent

gone, they are so much less severe already. I've goten over the

infection(finally), although have a lingering cough. I havent had ANY

sinus infections since being at my moms house.. just makes me so mad.

The last 4 years of my life has been completely wasted , simply by

being home alot. Not just wasted time, but mental trauma too. Doctors

telling me im faking, calling me a drug seeker because nobody could

figure out what the heck was wrong with me so they just assumed i

wanted drugs. EVen heart trouble. I was given a medication in the

hospital for my ongoing migraine that wouldnt break, and ended up

having a vascular spasm n my corinary artery, and now ive got

continual heart pains and palpitations from that reaction.. Its just

ridiculous.

So anyways.. my iggest question was my original question.. s there a

generally accepted PPM level for acceptable mold levels in homes..
