One Google employee who was visibly pregnant was asked if she was aware of risks associated with TCE exposure. "We're really not allowed to talk about it," she said. "Sorry." This is a very shameful part of such incidents. Without transparency and communication, we will never resolve these issues. If transparency and communication had existed from the start, that ventilation would not have been disabled or certainly not have remained so for such a period of time. In my opinion, the entities that create such messes should be examined fully and, where appropriate (particularly in cases of willful neglect), drained of their resources in order to correct the problem. And, once such problems exist in the public environment (including employment settings), nobody -- upon threat of criminal prosecution -- should have the ability to constraint communication and dialog about them.
