Menlo Park Resident Council June 2023
On Thursday, June 29, 2023, the Deputy Commissioner of Veterans Affairs spent another day at Menlo Park Veterans Memorial Home discussing the ongoing work to repair the facility. The New Jersey Department of Military and Veteran Affairs is working with Environmental Design, Inc. for inspections and consultation, and Active Environmental Technologies, Inc, for mold abatement work following scheduled routine maintenance, sometimes referred to as “carbolization”, for the deep cleaning and inspection of each occupied room. From 79 pre-abatement air samples, EDI advised that, overall, the level of airborne mold spores detected indoors can be considered low by industry standards. EDI comparative analysis of indoor and outdoor samples indicates that the average concentration of mold spore counts present indoors ranged lower than the average concentration of mold spore counts present outdoors. As per EDI, there is no unusual airborne mold condition in the facility. In the interest of current and future resident safety, NJDMAVA will continue the work of performing inspections and abatement.
