          PARENTS FIGHT 'TOXIC MOULD'
          PARENTS FIGHT 'TOXIC MOULD'

             Mississauga parents say they'll show up at St. Richard's separate 
          school today to make sure their children don't get exposed to a potentially 
          deadly "toxic mould."
              About 300 of the elementary school's 775 pupils could wind up 
          in the library instead of portable classrooms.
               The parents are worried about possible harm to their kids if 
          they inhale spores of the fungus Stachybotrys atra.
              A study found a "suggestion" of Stachybotrys atra in one of the 
          portables at the school on Copehagen Rd.in Meadowvale.
              Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board officials told parents 
          in the school's gym yesterday that one portable classroom where the 
          mould was detected is now safe to use, but parents want lab testing 
          done in all the portables.
