poisoned by formaldehyde in CalEPA building
Hello,
I had worked at the CalEPA bldg in Sacramento for several years and ended up having to find a new job due to formaldehyde exposure there. The management would do nothing about it. I have lots more info, including some air sampling data, and contacts of several of the 100+ employees that experienced breathing difficulties, migraines, and skin rashes due to the toxic exposure to formaldehyde and other VOCs in that building. I hope you contact me. This needs to end. (use of toxics in bldg materials) Thank you so much.

P.S. I even "won" a workers comp case against them.
