San Francisco EPA Workers Claim Office Is a ‘Sick Building'

The Environmental Protection Agency’s mission is to protect human health and the environment, but nearly 100 of its own employees based in the Bay Area believe they’re getting sick just by going to work. The head of Region 9 EPA, Jared Blumenfeld, acknowledges indoor air quality problems, but blames the building management company, Hines Property Management. Hines said it has worked diligently to resolve the problems and plans to re-evaluate the building’s air flow floor by floor once building renovations are complete. Senior investigative reporter Vicky Nguyen reports in a video that first aired on Feb. 22, 2016.
