About 300 Auckland buildings may be affected by a major outbreak of the potentially fatal Legionnaires' disease.
The outbreak has prompted urgent calls for building owners, mostly within the CBD, to overhaul mechanical ventilation systems that include cooling towers.
In the last six weeks, nine cases of Legionnaires' disease have been recorded in the region. A typical six-week period would see one or two cases notified.
The disease is a form of pneumonia that can be life-threatening for some. The condition of the nine people with the disease is not known.
Symptoms can include headache, diarrhoea, dry cough, drowsiness and delirium. It is treated with antibiotics, but most people who contract the disease are hospitalised.

| Court Reversal Makes NYC Property Owners Liable for Mold Illnesses ...a case involving a one-time resident of a ground-floor apartment in a Hell's Kitchen tenement, that trend could be... | |
TRD / REBNY -- [WSJ]
 Last month, a Manhattan appellate court reversed an earlier decision and linked building mold with serious illnesses, sending waves of fear through property owners as lawsuits could increase, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The reversal comes four years after an earlier ruling, in a case involving an East 52nd Street co-op, that the scientific evidence of a mold-illness relationship was weak. Meanwhile, since 2007 there has been a 19 percent increase in the number of mold-related housing violations in the city, climaxing at 15,942 such violations last year, and a 67 percent increase in the number of violations categorized as "immediately hazardous." But because of the 2008 ruling, personal-injury mold suits have slumped.

Parents at a Brooklyn school building demanded answers from education officials at an informational meeting Monday evening about construction conditions they say are creating health hazards for their children.
Frustrated parents at PS 17 and MS 577 in Brooklyn walked out of a meeting with school officials Monday night when they heard their children would have to stay in their building where mold has been discovered.
Hundreds of parents from the pair of Williamsburg schools, housed in the same building, were gathered for the latest informational meeting on the mold problem. The most recent testing, done last week, revealed black mold inside seven classrooms.

by Mark Morales AND Ben Chapman / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Dozens of students are staying home after classrooms at a Brooklyn middle school tested positive for mold, officials said.
As workers struggled to remove the black slime from seven rooms at Middle School 577 in Williamsburg, about 50 kids opted to stay away.
Parents - including Williamsburg resident Danielle Obloj, who said her daughter had already been sickened by the fungus - called for an immediate cleanup at a protest outside the school on Friday morning.
"My daughter is not in school and I won't bring her back until I know it's safe," said Obloj, 34, whose daughter Jamie, 13, is an eighth grader at MS 577.
Jamie's pediatrician found levels of mold in her blood on Wednesday, said Obloj.
