Many local claims don’t begin with a dramatic headline—they begin with patterns residents recognize in their own routines:
- Home or apartment air quality issues after renovations, water intrusion, or ventilation changes (including mold remediation disputes)
- Workplace exposures tied to industrial cleaning, chemical handling, or maintenance work
- Construction-related concerns after demolition, drywall replacement, painting, or dust-heavy projects near occupied spaces
- Community spillovers where multiple people report similar symptoms after an event
In Gaithersburg, where residential neighborhoods and commercial/office areas blend together, exposure pathways can be mixed—work + home + a shared building system. That’s why early fact-collection matters.
