According to the CDC and the World Health Organization, damp buildings and mold are very serious environmental problems associated with permanent respiratory and immune problems in otherwise healthy individuals. Therefore, as we learn that Louisiana's Baker School Board and Superintendent Estes Taplin plan to allow students to return to publicly known, moldy classrooms in the fall, we ask WHY WOULD THE HEALTH OF THE CHILDREN BE SO ENDANGERED ? If anyone has told the superintendent and board that this is a safe practice and that any indoor mold is not dangerous to health, they have been misinformed, according to CDC and WHO research.
We recommend that parents not allow their children back into moldy classrooms, ever, insisting on public or other alternatives. Further, we recommend that classrooms be remediated following strictest industry guidelines and that, at the very least, susceptible children (with past environmental illness, asthma, respiratory, immune, or cancerous conditions) not return to buildings with any history of water-damage, unless these have passed an ERMI test by a third party, with a score of 1 or less, post-remediation, under mold-literate physician guidance. SMH, along with CDC and WHO, knows that damp or moldy buildings, or those with a history of these conditions, are likely to make even healthy children ill, chronically ill, or have deadly consequences.
