Multiple families claim their children have fallen ill due to a mold issue inside Arizona State University dorms: abc15
TEMPE, AZ — Multiple families claim their children have fallen ill due to a mold issue inside Arizona State University dorms.So, ABC15 did some digging and spoke to a mom and dad who say their child, who goes to ASU, has been under specialists’ care for months.
“We can see vision affect where it’s really a differentiation of between shades of gray. So, they may describe kind of blurry vision,” said Dr. Dersam. These parents tell ABC15 their daughter experienced most of these symptoms. So, in October, they sent their child Petri-dishes to collect samples from the vents and walls of her dorm.
Many did not want to go on the record. Though one other parent, wanting to remain anonymous, did speak with us. “And you, as a physician, if you're looking at this and this is your patient coming back with these results, would you be concerned?” asked our crew.Meanwhile, these parents do admit that ASU sent a crew to their daughter’s dorm in Palo Verde West in November to test for mold and clean affected areas.“Any reported mold concern in an ASU residential hall ventilation system is managed diligently by ASU Housing and or our affiliated partners such as American Campus Communities.
These parents tell ABC15 they hired a company to come out to the dorms and do additional testing, after ASU’s tests were done in November. ABC15 asked about the categories listed next to the molds in the EMSL report. Some potentially toxic molds like cladosporium were listed as ‘high’ while others like aspergillus/penicillium and chaetomium listed as ‘rare.’
In response to mold and air quality concerns raised by students and their parents, ASU hired a firm specializing in mold and indoor air quality to conduct mold air sampling in numerous residential halls. In general, the results did not indicate the presence of indoor sources of mold.” ABC15 asked Schrantz the following question: “Why do you think ASU’s test results were different than what EMSL’s lab results showed?”
