WXYZ: Mold Found in Wyandotte City Hall

TV station reports that city workers were not informed after an environmental firm found mold in Wyandotte City Hall.

WXYZ-TV reports that an environmental firm found mold in in 2010 and that city workers were never informed of the discovery.

Environmental and Occupational Consulting and Training found several species of mold spores, conditions conducive to mold, and workers with symptoms consistent with exposure to mold when the firm inspected city hall last year.

“The first thing I asked them is, do they want us to move out of the building, is the building where we shouldn’t be working,” Wyandotte Mayor Joseph Peterson told WXYZ. “And the answer is no.”
