Exposure to molds seriously affects the respiratory health of children and teachers. Recently, mold in schools has been the center of much publicity. Many public schools in America are in poor condition and contain environments perfect for the growth of mold—for a few schools the mold has caused the schools to shut down.
- There are over 10,000 mold lawsuits filed every year,
with tens of thousands pending.
- Insurance Industry paid over 3 billion dollars in mold claims in 2001, and over 600 million dollars in 2002.
Documented School Case #1 - The John F. Kennedy Elementary School in Milford, CT suffered exposure to dangerous mycotoxins from mold colonies inside the school. This undetected growth caused symptoms of headaches, colds, fatigue, achy joints and pneumonia in healthy children. The school was evaluated and renovated at a cost of over $600,000.
Documented School Case #2 - At McKinley Elementary School in Fairfield, CT the school nurse recorded that in the 1999-2000 school year approximately 40% of students, teachers, and staff had symptoms such as sinus headaches, skin rashes, earaches, wheezing and tightness in the chest. The contamination of mold was so severe that the school had to be demolished and rebuilt at a cost of $21 million dollars.
Other cases:
- Teachers in Fort Myers, FL filed a lawsuit against county school officials for not fixing known mold infestation.
- Even newer schools such as a three year old Elementary school in the Somerset School District in San Antonio, TX had to be cleaned at a cost of $3 million dollars.
