Tremblay Director of Public Property Inspector of Building Zoning Enforcement Officer March 8, 1993 Rena Michaud 7 Olde Village Drive Salem, MA 01970 RE: 7 Olde Village Drive Dear Ms. Michaud: At the request of the Salem Health Dept. an inspection was made regarding spore samples and test results taken from a pipe condensation hole in the mechanical room at the above referenced property. After reading the report from Robert Cashins I took the liberty to speak with him on the phone. I was assured there were no contaminants were found in the soil taken from said hole, he also acknowledged there were spore counts taken. When I asked what constituted a high or low spore count I was informed there was no criteria established. He did however, suggest this type of spore count is common no matter where the test was conducted. He suggested filling the hole with cement as spores are unable to penetrate concrete. I also would recommend your following his suggestion. I did supply with the phone number of U.T.S. Testing Labs should you choose to get another opinion. If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, f� „ ^A Leo Leo E. Tremblay Inspector of Buildings LET:bms cc: Julie Forsberg, Health Dept.

InduHridl H,g nr t Imrrunnu mldl lrJin; February 19, 1993 Rena Michaud 7 Olde Village Drive Salem, MA Dear Rena, cashins & Associates Inc. collected airborne spore samples inside your house on February 3-4, 1993 . The purpose of the sampling was to determine if the concentration of spores in your home were different with the heating system on compared to when it was off. Testing was also done to evaluate the spore concentration in the basement utility room. Samples were collected using a Samplair Spore Sampling instrument with slides coated with Hexane-Silicone Grease. The spores were counted by Richard Fink, Consulting Microbiologist, at a magnification of 400X. The Samplair was programmed to sample 10 minutes out of every two hours. Samples were collected with the heat on from 6: OOPM-8: 00 AM and with the heat off from 8 : OOAM to 6: 00 PM. Two additional samples were collected in the utility room between 7 :00 and 8: 00 PM. The analysis indicated the following: HEAT ON SPORES/CUBIC METER OF AIR COMMENTS 85 - 149 96 74 106 64 149 HEAT OFF 170 Residual from heat being on 42 42 21 <11 5.5 CAMBRIDGE SIRFH SUI rE 201 - BURI.IN(,7f0N, MA 01805 Utility Room 1 TNTC Too numerous to count Utility Room 2 TNTC Too numerous to count The spores observed included Aspergillus, Pollen and a variety of mold spores. The data indicates a substantial increase in mold spore concentration when the heating system is on. The data also indicates that the source of the spores is the basement utility room. The utility room has a 6" diameter hole in the floor which exposes the soil below. A musty odor is present in the soil. It was also noted that a strong air current from the hole to the utility room was present. It is concluded that (1) The soil under the floor is the source of the spores. (2) The HVAC system, which is located close to the hole, draws spores into the duct system during operation and distributes the spores throughout your home. (3) The original hole in the floor (water drain) would result in the same movement of spores from the ground to the interior of your home. The hole in the floor must be sealed to prevent further contamination from entering your home. The interior of the house must also be completely cleaned to remove spores that may be present on rugs or other surfaces. This report concludes our work on this project. If you have any questions please call. Very truly yours, Cashins & Associates Inc.
