The workmen were wearing heavy-duty face masks to protect their lungs. I was expected to walk through the hall where all the dust was. I have been coughing since I left because I had to walk through TWICE. The first time I asked them to turn the sanders off while I walked through. They complied but I still had to breathe in all the dust that was in the air. When I was leaving, I tried to signal them to stop sanding and they tried to ignore me. The foreman saw me and he had them shut them off. When I complained to him about the dust loose in the air and blowing into the faces of patrons, he told me to "Grow up!" I am 68 years old and normally have no breathing problems. When I called this company to complain, I was told that the sanding shouldn't take much more than 2 hours and they wanted to do it during the day so they could put the sealant on at night. A tenant in the building told me that she had been told the sanding would be done at night. If the sanding was to take less than 3 hours, both could have been done at night. The public should not be exposed to this kind of dust/pollution! I am also reporting them to Maine Air Quality Control. I was referred by Maine D.E.P. I would not use or recommend a company who has such little concern for the health of others.
