The Sick School
© 2005 Jeffrey C. May, M.A.
John had been a teacher in the same classroom for four years. He loved teaching but this was to be his last day, because he felt that he had become allergic to his classroom.
The school was about 30 years old, and the classroom heating equipment had never been cleaned. (Comment: The heating equipment contained large clumps of dust that had been there
for decades. Much of the dust contained growing mold. John sealed all the openings and vents for the heating unit, and he was able to complete the year.)
Jeffrey C. May is a building consultant, Certified Indoor Air Quality Professional (CIAQP), and author of My
House is Killing Me! The Home Guide for Families with Allergies and
Asthma (2001) and My Office is Killing Me! The Sick Building Survival
Guide (2006), as well as co-author of The Mold Survival Guide: For Your
Home and for Your Health (2004), all published by Johns Hopkins University Press. A former educator and organic chemist (M.A. Harvard University), Jeff is principal scientist of May Indoor Air Investigations LLC in Tyngsborough, Massachusetts.
