NIOSH Health Hazard Evaluation Report: HETA No. 2004-0005-3024, Grove Park Inn Resort and Spa, Asheville, North Carolina, November 2006

摘要

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) received a health hazard evaluation request from employees of the Grove Park Inn Resort and Spa. We evaluated reports of chronic bronchitis and pneumonia, headaches, hoarseness, cough, sore throats, burning/watery eyes and nose, red and flaky nose, dizziness, nosebleeds, shortness of breath, nausea, inability to concentrate, sneezing, excess fatigue, fever, chills, muscle aches and dry, itchy skin, that workers believed may have been related to exposure to mold and fungus in the treatment rooms and gas released from pools. NIOSH investigators conducted site visits in November and December 2003 to look at these issues.
