Anthrax: Postal Service Is Optimistic After Fumigation Test The U.S. Postal Service has cleared another hurdle in the process of sanitizing the anthrax-contaminated Brentwood Road processing facility in Washington, the Washington Times reported Saturday (see GSN, Nov. 13). A test of repaired fumigation equipment Thursday was successful, service spokeswoman Debbie Yackley said Friday. The Environmental Protection Agency must confirm the service’s conclusions, however, before technicians begin to fumigate, according to the Times. “We are optimistic,” Yackley said. “We’ve been working very closely with the EPA,” she added. Officials have said they plan to pump 500 pounds of chlorine dioxide gas into the postal facility, which has been sealed to confine any spores of anthrax that might be left from last year’s anthrax attacks (Patrick Badgley, Washington Times, Nov. 23).
