Investigation of Reported Cancers in Workers and Air Quality Concerns -- 6th Floor, King County Administration Building

In late July 2003, e-mail correspondence from an employee to the County Executive expressed concern about cancer occurrence on the 6th floor of the King County Administration Building, 500 Fourth Avenue, Seattle. Public Health met with employees concerned about their workplace. We have evaluated the cancer patterns, reviewed indoor air monitoring for asbestos to date, and conducted air sampling for diesel exhaust.
