In the New Baltimore area, hazardous contact may be tied to a range of real-world settings:
- Industrial and maintenance work tied to chemical use, solvents, dust, or indoor air handling
- Residential construction and remodeling (drywall dust, adhesives, sealants, mold remediation, insulation work)
- Seasonal or weather-driven indoor air issues, including water intrusion that can lead to contamination
- Public-facing environments where ventilation problems or cleaning chemicals may cause symptoms in visitors or staff
The common thread isn’t just “being near something.” It’s whether there was a reasonable exposure pathway and whether the symptoms you’re experiencing align with the timing and conditions.
