Health Hazard Evaluation Report: HETA 2000-0092-2832, Charles Hardwood Complex, Saint Croix, United States, Virgin Islands
On December 15, 1999, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) received a request from employees of the United States Virgin Islands Department of Health, Saint Croix. Employees working at the Charles Harwood Complex (CHC) believed that their headaches, coughing, rash, itching, infections, respiratory problems, and eye irritations, were related to working in this building. On May 16, and 17th NIOSH investigators conducted a site visit at the CHC. On May 16, 2000, NIOSH investigators conducted a walk-through inspection of the entire CHC. On May 16 and 17, 2000, air sampling was conducted for culturable fungi using an Anderson single-stage cascade impactor with malt extract agar, fungal spores using Air-O-Cell (trademark) media and mixed cellulose ester filters, and endotoxin using poly-vinyl chloride filters. Bulk samples were collected of materials with suspect fungal colonies from various areas of the CHC. Carbon dioxide (CO2), temperature, and relative humidity (RH) measurements were collected, and the condition of the air-conditioning systems was determined. Areas suspected of water damage (exterior walls, floors, and near windows) were probed with a moisture meter to qualitatively assess residual amounts of water.
