ATC EQUIP PROBLEM PHYSICAL FACILITY NEW TWR HAS NOXIOUS FUMES RESULTING IN CTLR ILLNESS WHILE ON DUTY.

Narrative

WE HAVE A SAFETY HAZARD WHICH HAS EXISTED FOR AT LEAST 2 MONTHS SINCE MOVING INTO OUR NEW FACILITY. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THERE HAS BEEN A SEWER GAS SMELL IN THE TWR CAB. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION THERE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINTS OF HEADACHES AND NAUSEA; IN SOME CASES RESULTING IN SICK LEAVE. IN ADDITION TO THE SEWER GAS SMELL THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH JET FUEL FUMES IN THE TWR CAB. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF HEADACHE; NAUSEA AND LIGHT HEADEDNESS. THESE ALL OCCUR WHILE PERSONS ARE WORKING POS. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 2 MONTHS SINCE THIS WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTN OF THE FACILITY MGR. AIRWAYS FACILITIES AND THE CONTRACTOR HAVE GOTTEN INVOLVED AND IT WAS BROUGHT UP DURING AN OSHA WALK THROUGH. AT THIS TIME THE PROBLEM STILL HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED AND I CONTINUE TO HEAR 'WE'RE WORKING ON IT.' CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO. THE RPTR STATED THE FACILITY WAS DAL TWR. THE RPTR STATED THE FAA ADMINISTRATOR HOT LINE WAS CALLED AND THE FUME PROBLEM WAS FIXED. RPTR FURTHER STATED CTLR'S ARE STILL GETTING SICK ON DUTY (HEADACHE) BUT FACILITY MGMNT REFUSES TO HAVE AN AIR QUALITY CHK MADE.
