We are communicating with elected officials throughout the country. We hear from many families who are harmed by toxic mold and other indoor air contaminants in water-damaged buildings. The most common question:
Why Doesn't the Government Do Something About Mold and Indoor Air Pollution?
Click
here to read the report on the
Discussion of Naysayers and Deniers and their decades-long strategy to keep the truth from being known.
Be sure to check out the following pages for reports about mold and indoor air pollution written by the World Health Organization (
WHO ), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (
EPA ), the U.S. Government Accountability Office (
GAO ), the state of
Massachusetts and reports and legislation written or enacted by
Other Government Agencies (International and U.S. federal, state and local agencies).
The 2022 paper by the National Academies (titled "Why Indoor Chemistry Matters") is even weaker than the one they published 18 years ago (in 2004).
This new report merely includes the key words "mold" and "mycotoxins" a couple times, but it contains no discussion of the health effects. They chose to exclude thousands of scientific research papers on this topic and are clearly out of touch with the scientific community's view of these issues.
To learn more about these inadequate papers by the National Academies, see our discussion of
Naysayer papers.
