Subject: Re: Residual Mercury in Schools
Monona and colleagues,
I understand and appreciate your point. I'm hoping that with ne
arly
15,000 schools in the country that we'll find a couple with the "fortitude
" to
have a look and see if this is or is not a reasonable concern. If NY
C is
not interested, we'll try Boston. ... Jim

Jim,
The schools are already in a bind due to the finding
of excessive levels of PCBs in the air from light ballasts, caulks, and
other
PCB-containing building materials. Mayor Bloomberg is concerned ab
out
the expense of replacing the light ballasts when he already says they wi
ll
have to lay off a few thousand teachers.
I think if you mentioned
testing for residual airborne mercury to school administrators, they'd
reach
for the Valium and pitch your letter in the round
file.

project to evaluate the presence of residual amounts of mercury in mid

junior, and senior high schools.
If there are any schools in
the New York City area which would like to participate, please contact
me to
discuss the project. ... Jim
