RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina State University announced Wednesday the federal government will resume its investigation into a potential cancer cluster investigation at Poe Hall, a reversal of decision made weeks before.
Chancellor Kevin Howell announced the decision in a letter sent to faculty, staff and graduate students.
“I am pleased to share that the university was notified by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) that the Health Hazard Evaluation (HHE) related to Poe Hall will move forward,” Howell wrote. “This follows the news we received in April from NIOSH that the HHE had been closed due to a federal reduction in force.
“This is a welcome development for our community. I’m grateful that NIOSH will resume its evaluation to provide answers related to Poe Hall.”
