SUMMARY

PURPOSE

An initial specific industrial hygiene consultation visit was made in response to a request from Mr David Bowen Deputy Chief of the Meriden Fire Department for an evaluation of employee exposure to the possible presence of airborne fungal contaminants in the fire station

An opening conference was held on February 3 2010 with Deputy Chief Bowen to discuss the scope of the survey and to reiterate the employers rights and responsibilities especially to correct imminent danger or serious hazards The opening conference was also attended by Chief James Trainor

Following the opening conference the consultant conducted a walk-through of the areas included in the consultation Employees had expressed concerns regarding potential migration of fungal contaminants from the basement level of the facility to the living quarters on the second floor

CONCLUSIONS

Monitoring Data Monitoring of several substances commonly evaluated to assess indoor air quality was conducted The sampling strategy utilized included carbon dioxidemiddot carbon monoxide temperature and relative humidity None of the substances evaluated resulted in concentrations exceeding limits found in the State of Connecticut Department of Labor Division of Occupational Safety and Health (CONN-OSHA) regulations The results are detailed in Table I in the Monitoring Report section

Environmental sampling for fungi was alsoconduauid The results Of the sampling did not indicate a problem of fungal amplification in the second floor living quarters In the morning sampling quantities of fungal spores in the first and second floors of the facility were found to be mostly of the same order of magnitude as the background level found in the ambient outdoor air and were lower than quantities found in the basement In the afternoon sampling quantities of fungal spores in the indoor locations sampled were lower than the background level found in the ambient outdoor air The predominant fungi found outdoors Penicillium and Cladosporium were amongst the fungi found indoors Certain genera were found in the first and second floors of the facility which were not detected in the outdoor samples However the concentrations of these genera were low The results are detailed in Tables II m and IV in the Monitoring Report section

In addition swab samples were taken from four surfaces suspected to have fungal growth Fungal growth was not detected in the sample collected from the wall of the second floor mechanical room Active fungal growth was found on samples collected from walls in the utility area supply room 2 and fire room located in the basement It should be noted that the predominant species found on two of the swab samples was Stachybotrys chanarum The growth of Stachybotrys chartarum generally occurs on wet building materials that contain high cellulose content and low nitrogen content This fungi is usually recovered from chronically wetted cellulose materials Stachybottys chanarum is known to produce a mycotoxin under certain conditions In recent years exposure to Stachybotrys chartarum has been linked to acute idiopathic pUlmonary hemorrhage among infants The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) however has published a clarification stating that at present there is no test that proves an association between Stachybottys chanarum and particular health symptoms The results of the swab samples are detailed in Table V in the Monitoring Report section

Hazards Identified During Consultation During this consultation two hazards related to CONN-OSHA regulations were identified The hazards identified were classified as Serious These hazards were discussed with Deputy Chief Bowen and are detailed in the Report of Hazards Found section Please return a response (B - Employer Report of Action Taken) by June 21 2010 indicating corrective actions that have been taken to protect employees and correct the hazardous conditions

RECOMMENDATIONS

bull Management needs to address the condition causing water incursion in the basement Water was found on flooring in several areas of the basement including but not limited to the west side stairwell landing emergency generator room boiler room utility area activity room and west side corridor Signs of water damage and visible fungal growth were observed on walls in several areas of the basement as well It is recommended that the source(s) of water incursion be identified and repaired immediately

Once the problem(s) of water incursion are corrected thoroughly inspect water-affected areas for water damage andor fungal growth This includes readily observable structures as well as hidden surfaces behind walls and areas underneath furnishings Porous organic materials that are or may be contaminated should be removed and discarded They are potential reservoirs for microorganisms Disinfection is rarely effective for porous materials that have been subject to water damage Non-porous surfaces may be vacuumed using a vacuum cleaner equipped with a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter andor damp wiped with water and a mild detergent and allowed to dry

bull Source sampling indicated the presence of active fungal growth on walls in the utility area supply room 2 and fire room all located in the basement Sheetrock in these noted areas as well as other areas affected by fungal growth should be removed and discarded The surrounding areas should be evaluated for water damage andor visible fungal growth Based on the amount of material affected it is recommended that microbial remediation be conducted by properly trained personnel using appropriate personal protective equipment and proper containment to prevent the release of fungi into surrounding areas Steps should be taken to carefully contain and remove moldy building materials in a manner that will prevent further contamination For information on remediation procedures refer to the remediation guidelines outlined in the OSHA publication entitled A Brief Guide to Mold in the Workplace the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guideline entitled Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings andor the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene Bureau of Environmental and Occupational Disease Epidemiology publication entitled Guidelines on Assessment and Remediation of Fungi in Indoor Environments

bull Preventive maintenance is vital to controlling bioaerosols in the facility The build-up of dirt and moisture should be prevented by routine cleaning inspection and maintenance activities Immediate attention should be given to problems of moisture incursion in the building including any roof or pipe leaks spills or flood The relative humidity in the building should be maintained below 60 to prevent conditions conducive for microbial growth Good ventilation practices can also help in preventing the build-up of biological particles

bull Some stained ceiling tiles were found on the second floor of the facility Remove and discard any water damaged ceiling tiles They are potential reservoirs for microorganisms Ensure that the underlying cause of water incursion in these areas have been corrected

An effective preventive maintenance program should be maintained for the facilitys ventilation system Operations typically included in a preventive maintenance plan are as follows

changing air fllters on air handling units at regular intervals

Visit Number 505263848 20f4 Summary

conducting routine inspection amp cleaning of air distribution ducts as necessary

replacing damaged insulation

vacuuming amp dusting of ventilation registers regularly to remove surface dust

checking the proper functioning amp conditioning of fans dampers belts baffles ductwork and system balances

Also ensure that outdoor air dampers are open and set to provide an adequate amount of outdoor air to the facility

DISCUSSION - Facility Walk-through

An initial specific industrial hygiene consultation visit was made in response to a request from the deputy chief for an evaluation of employee exposure to the possible presence of airborne fungal contaminants in the fire station The fire station consisted of a two-story brick building The facility was reportedly built in 1968

This consultant was informed that there has been an on-going problem of water incursion in the basement level of the facility due to a drainage problem Water reportedly backs into the basement through a drain in the west side stairwell It was believed that the underground drainage pipes may have collapsed causing a water back-up when the water table rises Several areas of the basement have been affected by water incursion resulting in damage to building materials and fungal growth on sheetrock cardboard boxes etc Employees had expressed concerns regarding potential migration of fungal contaminants from the basement level of the facility to the living quarters on the second floor

Upon arrival a walkthrough of the facility was conducted The firehouse consisted of a basement first or ground floor and a second floor Access to the basement was from outside of the firehouse The basement was originally designed to serve as an emergency operating center with a conference room several offices supply rooms a storage room kitchen cafeteria shower facilities an emergency generator room furnace room and a utility area Flooring in the basement consisted of concrete and vinyl-type floor tiles The walls were constructed of concrete and sheetrock It was reported that the basement was no longer used for meetings or other activities and that it was primarily used as a storage area Entry into the basement was also required to access the boiler room and emergency generator room both located near the west side stairwell

The first or ground floor of the facility consisted of an apparatus bay and a bathroom The second floor consisted of an office a dormitory a kitchen two sitting rooms - Cinema 1 and Cinema 2 and bathrooms Flooring in the living quarters on the second floor consisted of vinyl-type floor tiles with some area carpets The walls were constructed of concrete block and the ceilings were composed of ceiling tiles Two mechanical rooms were located on the second floor one in the dormitory and one inmiddot the northwest corridor The air handling units for the second floor were located in the mechanical rooms along with an exhaust duct which ran from the basement to the rooftop

On the day of the visit water was found on flooring in several areas of the basement including but not limited to the west side stairwell landing emergency generator room boiler room utility area west side corridor and activity room Signs of water damage and visible fungal growth were observed on walls in several areas of the basement as well as on some cardboard boxes Also some stained ceiling tiles were found on the second floor of the firehouse The stains were reportedly a result of a problem of condensation on pipes which has since been corrected

At the closing conference the Hazard Descriptions and Recommendations and Monitoring Data sections of this report were discussed with the deputy chief The abatement date for the alleged violations was discussed with management

C - Safety and Health Program Management

The following are the basic elements of an effective employee safety and health program

bull MANAGEMENT LEADERSHIP AND EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENT assigns safety and health responsibility and authority to supervisors and employees and hold them accountable It includes policy formulation program review and encouragement of employee involvement

bull WORKSITE ANALYSIS identifies current and potential hazards It includes a thorough baseline survey to review work processes and individual potential hazards management of change (to deal with facilities equipment and the physical economic and regulatory environment) job hazard analysis (written safe operating procedures for major tasks) a self-inspection program using checklists to detennine whether facilities and equipment are hazardous and pairing inspectors to facilitate employee training and participation and to increase the possibility that new observers will fmd overlooked conditions a system for reporting hazards accident and incident investigation and analysis of injuries and illnesses

bull HAZARD PREVENTION AND CONTROL Prevention consists of regular maintenance and housekeeping emergency planning and preparation first aid ready access to emergency care when required medical surveillance and at the employers option preventive healthcare (eg group health insurance smoking cessation and wellness programs) Control includes guards enclosures locks protective equipment safe work procedures (the result of job hazard analysis) and administrative placement of personnel so as to minimize hazards

bull TRAINING of all personnel from managers through supervisors to employees about the hazards they may be exposed to and their identification prevention and control Managers and supervisors also need training in program management (eg enforcing rules conducting drills) Training can demonstrate management leadership and facilitate employee involvement

In assessing program effectiveness a consultant looks first at written materials (eg statement of purpose goals and objectives emergency plan) for clarity completeness and currency then for evidence that the written materials have been effectively implemented

Safety and Health Program Management with Employee Involvement

A safe and healthful workplace depends on effective management to involve line workers supervisors and managers in ensuring that hazards are identified and that effective physical and administrative protections are established and maintained

The following observations page may help you avoid the recurrence of the hazards and other fmdings noted during the survey and prevent the occurrence of other hazards

Visit Number 505263848 cmiddot lof2 Safety and Healtb Program Management

Management Leadersbip and Employee Involvement

Employer and employee interviews suggested that management is committed to employee safety and health Lines of communication for safety and health concerns have been established and authority and responsibility for such concerns are defined Management does appear to set an example for safe and healthful behavior

Worksite Analysis

Problems with hazard identification could be alleviated by training employees conducting routine inspections and periodic surveys of the work area Sources of further assistance include insurance companies employer associations and the State of Connecticut Department of Labor-Occupational Safety and Health Division Consultation Program

Hazard Prevention and Control

Work remains to be completed in this category The employer must address the items as referenced in the Report of Hazards Found Section of this report Procedures for correcting newly identified hazards and a system for health and safety rule enforcement and discipline should be established

Training

Employee training should be conducted routinely to insure employees remain aware of health and safety priorities and consistently utilize the best practices for specific tasks The Meriden Fire Department is encouraged to use training materials that are tailored to the needs of its employees

The carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide results indicated in Table I are below the respective permissible exposure limits of 35 ppm and 10000 ppm as 8-hour time weighted averages established in CONN-OSHA Standard 19101000 Table Z-1

The following rationale explains why carbon dioxide gas concentrations were monitored to help evaluate indoor air quality It is excerpted from Guidelines for Indoor Air Ouality published by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)

Carbon dioxide (CO is a normal constituent of exhaled breath and if monitored can be used as a screening technique to evaluate whether adequate quantities of fresh outdoor air are being introduced

into a building or work area The outdoor ambient concentration of CO2 is nonnally 250-350 ppm Usually the CO2 level is higher inside than outside even in buildings with few complaints about indoor air quality However if indoor CO2 concentrations are more than 1000 ppm (3 to 4 times the outside level) there is probably a problem of inadequate ventilation and complaints such as headaches fatigue and eye and throat irritation are frequently found to be prevalent The CO2 concentration itself is not responsible for the complaints However a high concentration of CO2 may indicate that other contaminants in the building may also be increased and could be responsible for occupant complaints

On the day of the consultation visit carbon dioxide levels in the facility were found to be below 1000 ppm the level below which the comfort criteria is likely to be satisfied

CONN-OSHA does not have standards that regulate temperature or humidity in a work area however the OSHA Technical Manual provides engineering and administrative guidance to prevent or alleviate indoor air quality problems Recommendations for air treatment include humidity control in the range of 20-60 and temperature control in the range of 68-76 degrees Fahrenheit Another source of guidance is the American Society of Heating Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) The ASHRAE Standard entitled Thennal Environmental Conditions for Human Occupancy recommends that indoor temperature ranges be based on a number of factors including but not limited to clothing insulation and activity levels In workplaces where activity levels and clothing worn are similar to most office environments and the outdoor environment is cool ASHRAE recommends a temperature range of approximately 68 to 78 degrees Fahrenheit Under similar conditions when the outdoor environment is warm ASHRAE recommends a temperature range of approximately 75 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit These temperature ranges are based on relative humidity levels within recommended ranges

Temperature measurements taken in the living quarters on the second floor of the facility were found to be within the general recommended ranges noted above The relative humidity was below 30 the level below which employees may feel discomfort from dryness However due to the associated risks of microbiological growth humidification was not recommended

On the day of the visit temperatures measurements on the second floor of the firehouse ranged from 693 - 712 degrees Fahrenheit and the relative humidity ranged from 232 - 252

Air sampling was perfonned on February 3 2010 to evaluate the levels of fungi present in the facility Samples were collected on standard petri dishes using a Graseby-Andersen Model 10-709 N-6-1 AFCM single stage viable impactor sampler factory calibrated to an approximate flow rate of 283 liters of air per minute Samples were collected for three-minute time periods on Malt Extract Agar Air samples were collected from inside and outside of the facility Two sets of samples were collected from the first and second floors of the facility one in the morning and one in the afternoon In addition three samples were collected mid-day from the basement The samples were sent to the Wisconsin Occupational Health Laboratory for analysis

Analysis was performed by enumeration and classification of incubated colonies Biological materials which are unable to produce spores are counted and included as non-sporulating fungi The results of analyses are expressed in tenns of colony forming units per cubic meter of air (CFUM3

) The results of the morning mid-day and afternoon samples are listed in Tables II III and IV respectively

Additionally four swab samples were taken from surfaces suspected to have fungal growth The samples were submitted to the Wisconsin Occupational Health Laboratory for fungal analysis The samples were analyzed by standard mycology procedures Wipes are washed with sterile water dilutions are made with sterile water and aliquots are cultured on an agar Fungi are identified by microscopic and macroscopic examination The results of the swab samples are listed in Table V

There are no established pennissible exposure limits (PELs) for microbial levels in bulk or air samples under the State of Connecticut Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Division (CONN-OSHA) regulations There are also no established threshold limit values for microbials established by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists as recommended guidelines Some quantitative values have been proposed However there are many variables which affect microbial concentrations in indoor air Spores of fungi are almost always present however the types and quantities of fungi vary with the time of day weather season and geographical location Typically the quantities of fungal spores will be greater outdoors than indoors Also similar types of fungi are found indoors as are found outdoors It should be kept in mind that air sampling for fungi in itself may not be used to predict potential adverse health responses in an indoor environment It is usually much easier to carry out remedial actions than to prove that a microbial agent may be responsible for a building-related illness

Current reference sources indicate that indoor sample fungal genera and levels should be equal to or less than outdoor air fungal levels Different genera or increased levels of fungi present indoors as compared to outdoors may indicate fungal growth indoors It should be noted that fungi are ubiquitous in the environment Low quantities of fungi may not be significant especially in bulk and wipe samples

On the day of the visit in the morning sampling quantities of fungal spores in the first and second floors of the facility were mostly of the same order of magnitude as the background level found in the ambient outdoor air and were lower than quantities found in the basement In the afternoon sampling quantities of fungal spores in the indoor locations sampled were lower than the background level found in the ambient outdoor air The predominant fungi found outdoors Penicillium and Cladosporium were amongst the fungi found indoors Certain genera were found on the first and second floors of the facility which were not detected in the outdoor samples However the concentrations of these genera were low These included Oidiodentiron Stachybotrys chartarum Rhodotorula Epicoccum nigrum Aspergillus versicolor Alternaria Yeast and aerobic actinomycetes

In addition swab samples were taken from four surfaces suspected to have fungal growth Fungal growth was not detected in the sample collected from the wall of the second floor mechanical room Active fungal growth was found on samples collected from walls in the utility area supply room 2 and fire room located in the basement It should be noted that the predominant species found on two of the swab samples was Stachybotrys chartarum The growth of Stachybotrys chartarum generally occurs on wet building materials that contain high cellulose content and low nitrogen content This fungi is usually recovered from chronically wetted cellUlose materials Stachyborrys chartarum is known to produce a mycotoxin under certain conditions In recent years exposure to Stachybotrys chartarum has been linked to acute idiopathic pulmonary hemorrhage among infants The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) however has published a clarification stating that at present there is no test that proves an association between Stachybotrys chartarum and particular health symptoms

Management should periodically inspect the building for signs ofmoisrure leaks or spills Respond promptly to any problems noted by correcting causes of any moisture incursion removing and replacing any water damaged porous materials and by cleaning non-porous surfaces with detergent and water
