Doctors Brief Courthouse Employees
September 12, 2001
Officials recently revealed to employees of Tampa's Sam Gibbons Federal Courthouse the details of a report that the building they work in is making them sick. The private environmental assessment company's report tells of mold, fungi and sick employees in six federal courthouses throughout Florida.
According to physicians, one of the main problems is the furniture and papers transferred from old courthouses into the newer facilities. Many of these items were already contaminated before the construction of the new facilities. The Government Services Administration is deciding what to do to cure the problem. Meanwhile, physicians recommend that employees with symptoms of the condition known as sick building syndrome see a doctor.
