Questions Regarding Indoor Air 3/28/02
For callers who want to know if their building was tested, or
whether someone will test the air in their apartment or office
building:
1. Mammessage: Right now there is no government
agency conducting indoor air tests, but we do have
information on many buildings. Also the ATSDR in
collaboration with the Department of Health did conduct
sampling of 30 buildings and we can give an overview of
those results (in the blue binder under Indoor Air). The
EPA has a Task Force that is considering more indoor
air testing, but so far there has been no decision as to
how this will take place or which buildings would be
tested.
2. Find out the address
3. If the address is one of the 30 buildings sampled by
ATSDR,
a. Take the contact information and tell caller that
someone from the Health Department will call back.
These forms should go in the DOH Referral file.
b. Tell them you can give them an overview of the
results of the sampling.
4. If the address is one of the buildings that DEP has on its
list, tell the caller what information was sent to DEP. If
the caller wants more results suggest that they contact
the owner and ask for any documentation. If the owner
will not release this, tell the caller that DEP is checking
with its legal staff to see if results can be released.
5. If the address is not on either list, take their contact
information and tell them that we can notify them if any
more indoor air testing is conducted.
