Family poisoned by Creosote please help condemn this house!

This petition was published by Nhodges on Oct 26, 2010

We, the undersigned call on the Health Department, Department of Environmental Quality, State of Virginia, and Governor Bob McDonnell to condemn the home located at 971 Ebenezer Church Road in Gore Virginia 22637, and change the building code laws.

This home is constructed of used utility poles treated with Creosote. Creosote is a carcinogen and known to cause many adverse health effects to humans. Testing has been conducted in this home and levels of Napthalene and other Benzenes are well above OSHA standards for an 8 hr work day. There are no standards for chemical exposure 24/7 in a home currently.

There are also no laws against building, or renting a home made of toxic materials in the state of Virginia. These building code laws need to be changed.
