RE: NIOSH HHE for ClO2 mold remediation

[Guest guest]

Steve,

Very interesting – thanks for providing this link to the

group!

Go clear to the end of the report and look at the pictures of

the “pink room” on page 22. Must have been some roof leak, huh? Now

that the color has largely been bleached from that extensive mold growth, how

many of you would feel comfortable sleeping in this room? I think I’ll

pass!

Subject: NIOSH HHE for ClO2 " mold remediation "

In September

2004, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)

received a management request for a health hazard evaluation (HHE) at Gro-West

Inc. in Utica, New York. Gro-West management submitted the HHE request because they

were remediating mold in a house being renovated for future use as a shelter

for women and children. NIOSH was asked to evaluate the gaseous chlorine

dioxide (ClO2) treatment process with respect to its effectiveness in removing

microbial contamination. NIOSH investigators conducted an evaluation in

November and December 2004.
