Drug Take Back Day is Saturday, April 27:
|
|
|
|
National Drug Take Back Day aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription and over-the-counter drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of medications.
Last year, Americans nationwide did their part to drop off a record number of unused, unwanted or expired prescription medications during the DEA’s National Drug Take Back Day, at close to 6,000 sites across the country. Together with a record-setting amount of local, state and federal partners, DEA collected and destroyed close to one million pounds-nearly 475 tons-of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs, making it the most successful event in DEA history.

News from the Health Department:
What is Mold? Mold refers to the more than 300,000 species of fungi that can be found both indoors and outdoors. While mold grows best in warm, damp, and humid conditions, their spores can survive harsh environmental situations, such as dry conditions, and then bloom again when conditions are ripe. Though mold growth can occur year-round, it is encouraged by warm and humid conditions such as those that occur in the Spring here in Wisconsin. Outdoor mold can be found in shady, damp areas or places where leaves or other vegetation are decomposing. Indoor mold can be found where humidity levels are high, such as basements or showers.
If you can see or smell a mold problem, testing or sampling is typically not necessary. It is more important to identify and remediate the moisture source and clean up the mold, than to spend the time and money on testing. In addition, there are no agreed-upon, health-based standards for human exposure to mold or mold spores. Small areas of mold growth on nonporous surfaces can usually be cleaned by the removal of the gross mold buildup, followed by application of a simple bleach solution (1 cup bleach in 1 gallon water). The affected area(s) should be allowed to dry thoroughly. Extensive cleanup of large areas may require the use of a mold/water cleanup service and the removal of mold-contaminated surfaces (including drywall, carpeting, or wood flooring).
Seeking professional help:
If you suspect you have an indoor air quality problem, you may want to discuss it with an indoor air quality specialist. The
Wisconsin Department of Health Services
has information on mold and a list of Indoor Air Quality Consultants. If you are renting and feel your landlord is not being responsive to your concerns, you can call the Tenants’ Rights and Responsibilities at 608-224-4976 or Toll-free in WI at 800-422-7128.
