RE: 81 Conz Street Apt. # 725 —Mold Testing and Analysis Report
REASON FOR TESTING: Complaint
Dear Ms. Constance Kennedy:
Attached is the draft of the air quality sample prepared by a certified lab at your request.
As you can see from the results of the report, it appears that there is no unusual or
abnormal levels of mold, or mold spores in your apartment when you compare them to
the exterior sample(Control Sample)taken outside the window of the apartment.
Therefore the mold in your apartment is normal and may not be the direct reasons for
the allergy symptoms that you described to me.
Please supply your Physician with a copy of this report and he may call me to discuss it
if he wishes. I will also be forwarding a copy of this report to your attorney and the
Housing Authority.
However, I am recommending that you may benefit by removing some of the clutter and
boxes that I observed in your apartment during my two site visits.
Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

BACKGROUND
NorthHampton Housing Authority has asked ProScience Analytical Services, Inc. to
perform an indoor air sampling at the 81 Conz St.,APT# 725,NorthHampton, MA.
Mary Hemati environmental engineer performed the assessment and collected samples on
08/18/05.
INTRODUCTION
Air—dispersed fungal pieces are found in indoor and outdoor environments. The
particles can include spores(mode of reproduction in fungi), yeasts,and other particles.
The particles of many species of fungi can induce allergic reactions in much of the
human population. In some rare cases,some species of fungus have been found to be
human pathogens(i.e., organisms which are capable of producing disease) and can
produce mycotoxins. The spores which fungus release can become a respiratory threat to
humans and or aid in the production of other forms of infection if the airborne spore
concentrations reach critical concentrations.
Fungal growth occurs for numerous reasons, including stagnant water, damp or water
soaked building materials(ceiling tiles,drywall,carpets etc.). Other sources include
unclean ducts, dirty or contaminated filters for air intake ducts, plants and other
landscaping materials inside buildings etc.
SAMPLING/RESULTS
Air Sampling:
Air samples were collected using Air-O-Cell Air Sampling cassette attached to a vacuum
pump. This Sampling device designed for the rapid collection and analysis of a wide
range of airborne aerosols. These include fungal, spores pollen,insect parts, skin cell
fragments, fibers. Air enters the cassette,the particles become impacted on sampling
substrate, and the air leaves through the exit orifice. Three air samples were collected for
laboratory analysis at following location:

CONCLUSION
There are no regulatory standards involving exposures to fungi spores or guidelines for
interpreting indoor fungal concentrations. Most sources conclude that it is not possible to
recommend limits for fungal levels because of insufficient data on contaminant levels and
linking these levels to the origin of disease in humans. For total spore count
concentrations of less than 700 counts/m3 for Aspergillus/Penicillium and less than 2000
counts/m3 for all types are desirable.
There are generally no guidelines to fallow regarding airborne fungi, indoor results must
be interpreted with respect to ambient or control samples that have been collected to
display the background ambient air. In general all spore counts indoor should be lower
thanthese-found outdoors- in addition-spores found inside-should-be similarm flit
species found outdoors. A problem area may be found where high counts are found
inside or high levels of unusual spores are found inside.

During the inspection of Mrs. Kennedy's residence at 81 Conz Street
apartment number 725 it was found to be in violation of the codes CMR 527
chapter 1 section and CMR 527 chapter 10.
CMR 527 section 1 pertains to an excess amount of combustibles that add
significantly to the fire load and is an obstacle to the ingress or egress of the
building.
CMR section 10 also refers to all means of egress being clear of
obstacles.
Mrs. Kennedy's would need to do the following things to make her
apartment up to code:
• Remove all obstacles for a clear means of ingress and egress
• Reduce amount of combustibles from her apartment specifically
in areas of a heat source
If you have any additional questions you can contact me at (413)587-1032

left you a message, but thought I would follow-up by email regarding unit 725 at Salvo House and BOH
ctations.We are looking for the NHA to do the following:
Address immediate sanitary concerns in bathroom and kitchen.
Provide access to whoever is cleaning the unit for the tenant.
Not re-open the unit to tenant or any person for sleeping until the unit is cleaned-up.
he long term, it would be helpful to have someone from the NHA participate in hoarding task force to discuss
ctations of roles and responsibilities of the various parties involved in hoarding cases The next meeting is March
at 9am at Highland Elder Services. I would like to put a Northampton case on the agenda for review—perhaps one

stance's apartment is hi pretty good shape. She passed her Inspection; the only thing is her
g room floor is sticky. My intent is to notify Highland Valley Elder Services so they can
ect this (natter.

it 1 months now. Also we treated the apartment cv/bait gel when we did the Annual
