REMOVAL OF DUST, DEBRIS. AND CONTAMINATED MATERIALS
Copper, Lead, Nickel and Zinc. Exposure to these contaminants may cause various adverse
health effects. For example, inhalation of dust that is contaminated with heavy metals can elicit
a variety of health symptoms, both short and long term, depending upon the duration of
exposure, concentration of the contaminants, the specific metals in the dust, and personal
factors of the exposed person. Cadmium and lead are systemic toxins that adversely affect
major organ systems. Exposure to zinc fumes can result in an illness known as metal fume
fever. Therefore, special training of personnel, special equipment and special care must be
exercised in the removal and handling of contaminated dust, debris, and materials. Details of
these requirements are provided in this design document and all attendant references.
1.04 POTENTIAL MICROBIAL HAZARD:
A. Water damage in the building has resulted in microbial growth on various building materials,
including underneath the hardwood flooring. Exposure to fungal aerosols can cause allergic
respiratory diseases (e.g., hypersensitivity pneumonitis and asthma), mycotoxicosis, and/or
infections in individuals with pre-existing chronic disease (e.g., compromised immune systems).
Therefore, special training of personnel, special equipment and special care must be exercised
in the removal and handling of microbial-contaminated materials (see Section 9 Worker
Protection, 1.02). Details of these requirements are provided in this design document and ail
attendant references.
