FEB <br />261982 <br />19`0 <br />Dr. Hardin <br />then introduced Brian Burke, who has a <br />Master's <br />Degree in Environmental Health, who was present today at no <br />expense to the County, to answer questions relating to the <br />problem. <br />Mr. Burke advised that he. was associated with HRS, who <br />did some testing on formaldehyde, sewer gas and carbon monoxide <br />in May of 1981. He advised that the levels were 1.14 parts <br />per million in the record vault and then referred to the levels <br />of formaldehyde in the upstairs portion of the Courthouse. <br />Mr. Burke commented that these levels can be irritating and <br />approximately 10% of the population is sensitive to formaldehyde <br />vapors. He continued that they took a visual inspection and <br />checked the air conditioning ducts; took hydrocarbon tests; and <br />collected data sheets. They even investigated whether the <br />adhesives that were supposed to be used, were used. Also, <br />they -talked to many of the people assembled in the Courthouse <br />and listened to their problems. <br />Lengthy discussion followed about levels of formaldehyde <br />and how they have appeared to be decreasing since the time <br />of their sampling. <br />Mr. Burke commented that there was a problem obtaining <br />results of the tests performed on Judge Stikelether and <br />Mrs. Edwards in Gainesville - this could pose as an impediment <br />as to what was causing their problems. He stressed that <br />medical testing was needed. Mr. Burke noted that the symptoms <br />are real. They interviewed people and some were on medication; <br />there can be a very low assault to the body which can create <br />problems. He summarized that various things must be considered <br />such as the health of the person, drug interactions, physical <br />factors, and a psychogenic overlay. <br />
