Paul said they were advised not to clean the room but if they plan to put <br /> students in the building it will have to be cleaned. <br /> Mr. Hamilton said they should not clean prior to his monitoring . <br /> Peter said if the kids were in a classroom that then came back high (on <br /> Wed. ) should they be moved to another room? <br /> Mr . Hamilton said no. Clean the room and re -ample it. The kids would be <br /> OK. The experts would not expect anyone to react to that type of fungi . <br /> However if there is amplification there , there has to be water and it has <br /> to be fixed or you will eventually have a toxigenic source (because of the <br /> food chain) . <br /> Paul explained that step 1 is whether this explanation is satisfactory to <br /> SMMA? <br /> Bill Hauck asked if it is satisfactory to the Board of Health. <br /> Joel said the Building Committee needs to accept 1 of the 3 options : <br /> - occupy the building with students and staff, do coincidental testing and <br /> clean those room with elevated results . <br /> - occupy only parts of the building (not first floor B & E) . <br /> - don' t ' occupy the building at all . <br /> The first floor of B will not be occupied anyway. The area with a problem <br /> in E is the office next to the mechanical room where water spillage <br /> occurred. Occuhealth went to those areas for a specific reason. <br /> Merry Sue asked if it was a surprise to them where the high readings were <br /> from? <br /> They s id yes , they were surprised <br /> rised about B. <br /> Peter said it is the role of the Health Agent to enforce the State Health <br /> Code . Is this type of fungi address by the state code? <br /> Mr. Hamilton said it is not . This is something everyone is always <br /> breathing in. <br /> Joel said Occuhealth cannot answer a question regarding interpretation of <br /> State regulations. <br /> Bob Whritenour said dt is an issue of jurisdiction of the Board of Health. <br /> He would say they do have the authority to say the building should not be <br /> occupied. <br /> Bill Hauck said Joel , Mr. Hamilton and Elias McQuaid have to discuss this <br /> to make the right decision. <br /> Joel said the findings have to be in writing first . <br /> Mr. Hamilton will have a hard copy of the lab report to Elias McQuaid <br /> tomorrow. <br /> Bob Whritenour said it will be very important how this information is <br /> conveyed. He fears people will not have a complete interpretation of the <br /> data and the message will be the air quality testing failed. <br /> Dr. DeMoura asked if this type of bacteria tends to be higher here on Cape <br /> Cod than in other places in the State? <br /> Mr. Hamilton said there are 2 areas in the Stet that have elevated levels . <br /> The Pioneer Valley (Western Mass . ) 20% of the population there suffers from <br /> 7 <br />
