Mold Still A Problem At
City Hall
Due to mold inside
Dunn City Hall, the magistrate, dispatchers and other police personnel
have been temporarily moved upstairs. The city council will vote tonight
on a contract with a local firm to help alleviate the ongoing problem. The
problem lies in the ceiling tiles in the hallway near the magistrate’s
office downstairs. Mold spores also exist in the mayor’s office bathroom
upstairs. The matter became an increase concern in January when
dispatchers and officers downstairs complained to Police Chief Tim Benware.

Mold lands family on
national TV
According to Maria Sherow of
Military Hill
Road, nationally recognized mold expert Jeffrey May identified
cladosporium mold throughout the Sherow’s home, from the basement drywall
to the one of the children’s bedrooms to inside the fiberglass insulation
in the attic.
 Cladosporium
is the most common of the so-called black molds, found both outdoors and
in buildings. For people who are sensitive to it, the mold can cause
chronic allergy symptoms and trigger asthma and possibly fungal sinusitis.

mold at Union Street School in Springfield

return to the Union Street Elementary School on Monday, as environmental

After a thorough examination of the school, representatives from
Environmental Compliance Services of Brattleboro said the heating system
