Cathy Tinney-Zara, an employee at the Niosh facility in Pittsburg, who talked to the cable as a representative of the Union, says that before they lost their jobs, researchers at Morgantown actively examined how soldiers of war in the bay of war were affected by the exposure to mustard gas, how pregnant employees were exposed.
Two Morgantown researchers – who, like others in this story, asked to maintain anonymity in order to avoid professional repercussions – how their dismissed colleagues also studied how they influence agricultural employees by inhaling dust from hemp plants and a possible relationship between exposure to chemical disinfests and asthma. The laboratory was also to start developing a quick toxicity test for chemicals, to which American troops can be exposed during their distribution.
Mandler says that he studied why some people who produce, cut out and install stone countertops began to obtain siliches – potentially deadly scars of the lungs and inflammation, which hinders breathing – after several years of work. In general, employees tend to illness after spending decades in the field.
“I listened to men younger than me, sit on the table and talked about how they feel as if she is drowning in their own lungs because of these exhibitions, and they don’t see how their children grow up,” says Mandler.
He adds that some of the employees of Naosh who lost their jobs tested how the pulmonary reacts after exposure to dust from various brands of commercial synthetic quartz. It is believed that the material, commonly used in countertops, causes more solemn lung damage than exposure to pure natural quartz, says Mandler. He believes that there may be something in the production process, but now, when his research team at Naosh has been demolished, Mandler is afraid that the scientific community will last longer to find the basic cause.
Three Morgantown researchers who touched the reduction of jobs said that they did not receive any information about who would be responsible for the biological samples of the object after reducing how they could be moved, or what their final fate could be. Because all divisions in Niosh have been eliminated, one researcher says, they do not even know who could take responsibility for the samples they supervised in the facility.
Another researcher claims that when the dismissals occurred, the only instructions they received was “destroying our shopping and travel cards, and maintenance was available to help us take personal items to our cars.”
The researcher claims that the CDC guidelines directly to storage of physical samples and accompanying information personally in Lock and Key, and only some authorized staff can access them. “My colleagues and I took this responsibility very seriously,” says researcher Wired. “Many are worried about samples and what happens to them, sensitive and others.”
Even before a recent reduction, Mandler and two other released researchers say that the federal freezing of expenses ordered by the Trump administration in January reduced the supply of liquid nitrogen in Morgantown to “critical” levels. It took several weeks to restart the parcels.
