Mold infestation forces out two Moore Hall residents

Abstract:
When sophomore Katie Byers and her roommate moved into their efficiency-style apartment in room 213 of Moore Hall, they quickly discovered their quaint, little apartment had more to offer than a private bath and kitchen - it had mold.

Both test were done on the same day at the same time. I live in Moore Hall and have not noticed any problems with mold. As far as the roach goes I have seen some of yall's rooms maybe if you took your trash out more than once every 3 weeks we would not have a problem with ants or roaches. We are a community what you do and your actions will affect your neighbors.

The very elevated levels of the molds described can be dangerous and toxic. The general industry standard in the USA is that over 1,000 total spores cfu/m3 is acceptable, and sensitive people may react to 1/10th that. Furthermore, the toxins released by the molds are not measured by that method (counting spores)...Visit The Center for School Mold Help www.schoolmoldhelp.org for comprehensive information on Mold Testing, Sick Building Syndrome and more. Students should call for that room/building to be closed permanently. It is a menace to the health of these college students, shocking for a university to allow.
