Last month an Erasmus School of Law employee suffered an asthma attack, after which EUR conducted a microbiological examination of the building\u2019s air quality, which showed that the air in the building was indeed polluted.<\/p>\n

It is as yet unclear why the air purifier malfunctioned and whether the employee\u2019s asthma attack was related to the malfunction. EUR spokesman Jacco Neleman informed EM that the examination report is considered an internal document. \u201cSometimes it takes a while to get the air quality in a new building right,\u201d Neleman told us. \u201cThat was the case here too.\u201d<\/p>\n

In order to remove the polluted air from the structure, EUR thoroughly ventilated and cleaned the Sanders Building last week. EUR says it will keep a close eye on the building\u2019s air quality from now on. \u201cWe will regularly carry out indoor climate measurements and microbiological tests,\u201d said Neleman.<\/p>\n
