NYC 9/11 Public Portal Document
It is for this reason that I had previously suggested that no matter
what is done in the way of sampling, somebody who is part of the
sampling team should do a visual inspection for water damage and mold,
and a check should be made of the overall building to see if water
leakage or intrusion, or climate control systems problems could have
occurred. The later is necessary in case there are moisture problems
behind walls that aren't readily visible.
I'll give you a reading on how many of our consultants handled mold
problems if and when I get that info from the staff.

sure Mark I can take a crack at mold but I'm not sure why mold would be
tested. Mold was not a component of the towers; if there was water
infiltration into buildings then it may be an issue but we have not come
across a single case of mold problems in any of the apartments we have
inspected or a single mold complaint related to the disaster. The CUES
sub-committee on mold has brought this up but no one on the panel, which
includes a mold consultant working downtown, has found this to be an
issue.
