Museum study confirms mould, other hazardous substances A designated substance report commissioned by the Town of Prescott in the fall indicates that lead is present in eight of 10 samples taken at Forwarders’ Museum. Mould, mercury, silica, PCBs and other materials were also identified. The analysis did not include soil in the basement that might be contaminated from the heritage building’s previous use as a dry-cleaning business. See page 3 |
