CHARLOTTE, N.C. — UNC Charlotte confirms they’ve done testing to buildings on campus for PCBs following NC State’s results confirming PCBs inside Poe Hall.
As a precautionary measure, the university conducted testing on campus and is awaiting the results.
Ishaan Koradia is a senior at UNC-Charlotte studying pre-med and was aware of the testing at N.C. State.
“I actually have few people that go to NC State,” Koradia said. “They’ve been in this hallway and they’re like, super worried. They’re like, ‘Am I gonna get cancer in 10-15 years?’ So yeah, it was very shocking and scary.”
The issue is a priority for Koradia. “Last year I was diagnosed with early-stage cancer myself,” he said.
Campus officials aren’t the only ones awaiting the results.
“I am curious,” he said. “I hope everything’s okay. I think they should definitely release the results … be transparent about everything.”
