CDC
A $214 million lab building at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has had repeated problems with important air flow systems that help prevent the release of dangerous bioterror germs, according to documents obtained by USA TODAY. I previously reported in 2007 and 2008 on other problems in CDC Building 18, including a Q fever lab door that the agency had been sealed with duct tape and the failure of backup generators need to keep air flow systems working. I also previously reported on concerns of agency engineering staff about another CDC lab building, Building 17.
