Mold: Alive and Living in your Commercial Building

Author: Matthew C. Donahue

While insurance carriers search for exclusions in their policies, the fact of the matter is that mold is too important to ignore and claims will continue to be brought where human health impacts are clear. These cases arise in construction matters, operation and maintenance of commercial buildings and are a significant issue for a commercial landlord, homeowner and prospective buyer and seller of residential real estate.

Mold clearly causes health issues that dramatically impact the quality of people’s lives. While it is newsworthy it is not new! It is not dissimilar to other indoor air issues such as second hand smoke, carbon monoxide, lead paint, asbestos, radon, and many others. The ability to prove these harms in courts is proving to be challenging as in any new practice area. But the larger problems of indoor air pollution persist and will continue to challenge us long after the mold cases are litigated.

The source of harm to humans is found in the cross between these pollution sources and ventilation. In short, while these pollution sources exist in our general environment (indoors and outdoors), they present varying degrees of problems to people depending upon the concentrations levels and duration of the exposure. So we might sit in traffic on a hot summer day exposed to automobile fumes and they may not affect you at all. The same car exhaust in a home would be fatal.

The degree of harm or impact on the quality of life depends in some degree on and the vulnerability of the receptor. People react differently to indoor air pollution depending upon a number of factors including age and pre-existing medical condition. The degree of the reaction and the timing of the reaction vary as well. It is not uncommon for people to develop heightened sensitivity to other indoor air pollution sources once exposed to mold or second hand smoke.

As for mold, the ultimate source is moisture—a broken pipe, bathroom moisture that leaks into the floor or tiles, improper drainage—can be a source of mold. Mold is a living organism that is all around us and exists in all living things to some degree.

However, heightened levels can be found due to improper ventilation or overwhelming moisture built up in the home. A large effort has gone on for thirty years to weatherize homes to save on energy costs. Installing double- paned storm windows, caulking, insulation are all sound and prudent steps to tighten up the home to avoid heat loss in the winter. While this will assist you in heating bill payments, it has clearly been tied to increased exposure to indoor air pollutants. That same tightening reduces a home’s natural infiltration by upwards to 30%. In the end, that means less fresh air.

Operators of commercial buildings including municipalities, courthouses and even environmental agencies have faced enormous costs due to improper ventilation in buildings causing what has been commonly referred to as “sick building syndrome.”

The family of indoor air pollutants attributable to mold is called “biological contaminants.” They include bacteria, molds, mildew, viruses, animal dander and cat salivia, dust mites and pollen. The growth of these biological contaminants is related to the relative humidity in the commercial or residential space. A relative humidity of 30-50% is recommended for homes. Any standing water or wet surfaces serve as prime breeding ground for molds and mildew.

To minimize mold growth, ventilate your home or building regularly using exhaust fans in common areas, kitchens, bathrooms, attics, storage spaces and basements. Mold can grow rapidly (within twenty-four hours if standing water is not dried).

Any water damage to carpets and building materials especially sheet rock and other cellulose-based products need to be addressed immediately to mitigate any potential mold growth. If growth persists, then your mold issue may be related to condensation, relative humidity or vapor pressure.

If your property suffers flood damage or ice dam back ups or a broken pipe that goes unnoticed for several days if not weeks, disinfect water damaged furnishings and construction materials as soon as possible. Anything that cannot be dried should be discarded. You should recognize that even dry mold spores could continue to cause allergic type reactions.

Professionals should be contacted as procedures for clean up may require workers to wear respiratory protection

Mold is a real problem. Juries have returned substantial verdicts in the past several years and litigation has proliferated. Many of you may have received a notice from your homeowner’s insurance carrier disclaiming coverage for mold growth in your home. Most policies do not cover you for such damages but some have and it is very important how the source of moisture was initiated and infiltrated your home or business.

Should Diabetes be Concerned About Avandia Side Effects?

Author: Joel Simon

Coming into 2007, Avandia was one of the best selling prescription medications in the United States. A series of negative medical studies have cast doubts on the safety of the drug and have started to take their toll on Avandia's sales.

The trouble for Avandia began in May, 2007 when a Cleveland Clinic study showed that patients taking Avandia had a 43% greater risk of suffering a heart attack. The study which was published in the New England journal of Medicine, reviewed more than 40 clinical studies involving 28,000 patients. Dr. Steven Nissen, who led the study, estimates that tens of thousands of people have had heart attacks as a result of Avandia. This report led the American Diabetes Association to warn doctors to use more caution when prescribing Avandia to people with type 2 diabetes.

The Cleveland Clinic study comes after an August 2006 analysis by Glaxo Smith Kline which identified a 31% increase in cardiovascular risk in Avandia patients. While the company alerted the FDA about the risks, it failed to notify doctors and patients about their findings.

As a result of the Cleveland Clinic study and the internal Glaxo Smith Kline analysis, the FDA convened a special panel to discuss the cardiovascular risks associated with Avandia. This panel voted 20-3 that the drug did, in fact, raise the chance of heart attacks. However the FDA stopped short of removing the drug from the market, voting 22-1 to allow Glaxo Smith Kline to continue marketing the drug. However the panel recommended that Glaxo Smith Kline include a new warning on Avandia's warning label about heart attacks and other cardiovascular risk.

On November 14, 2007 the FDA issued a press release announcing that Glaxo Smith Kline had agreed to add new language to its existing black box warning on Avandia about the increased risk for heart attack. A black box warning is the strongest warning the FDA can issue. Avandia has already had a black box warning about the risk of Congestive Heart Failure.

The black box warning about cardiovascular risks was not the end of the bad news for Avandia this year. On December 2, 2007 a study conducted in mice showed that Avandia may contribute to bone loss and over time may speed the progression of osteoporosis. Researchers found that Avandia affects a key cellular protein that can stimulate the production of cells which aggressively degrade bone. Since many Avandia patients are at an age where osteoporosis is already a concern, the authors of the study recommend that Avandia should be prescribed with caution.

Since the Avandia warnings, law firms have filed hundreds of Avandia lawsuits. You can easily find a law firm that is representing Avandia clients by simply searching for an Avandia lawsuit on Google or Yahoo.
