TURNING NOW TO AN EXCLUSIVE
CBS TWO INVESTIGATORS FOLLOW UP.
TESTING IS UNDERWAY ON THOSE
NOISE BLOCKING WINDOWS
INSTALLED IN HOMES NEAR MIDWAY
AND O'HARE AIRPORTS.
MANY HAVE BEEN ADMITTING
DANGEROUS ODOR FOR YEARS.
PAM ZEKMAN REPORTS HOMEOWNERS
SAY IT'S ABOUT TIME.
THE CITY ABSOLUTELY WANTS TO
FIGURE OUT WHAT IS HAPPENING
WITH THE WINDOWS.
Reporter: AARON FRAIM, THE
MAN IN CHARGE OF THE CITIES
SOUND INSULATION PROGRAM SAYS
LAB TESTING OF ONE WINDOW HAS
BEGUN.
I THINK THEY ARE DOING A
THOROUGH EXAMINATION OF ALL OF
THE WINDOW COMPONENTS.
IN ORDER TO DETERMINE WHAT
GASES MIGHT BE COMING OFF OF
THAT.
Reporter: AIR QUALITY TESTS
AND SIX HOMES WILL BEGIN NEXT
MONTH.
IN ORDER TO COMPARE THE
RESULTS BEFORE AND AFTER THE
NEW WINDOWS ARE REPLACED.
Reporter: THAT'S GOOD NEWS
TO ONE WOMAN WHO SPENT $8000 ON
TRADESMEN TRYING TO FIND OUT
THE SOURCE OF THE SMELL IN HER
HOME.
IT REALLY KNOCKED MY BREATH
OUT. Reporter: SHE RECENTLY
LEARNED IT WAS HER INSULATED
WINDOWS.
IF IT WASN'T FOR CHANNEL 2
NEWS I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN
ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
Reporter: CHERYL ALERTED THE
CITY IN 2015 ABOUT THE SMELL IN
HER HOME.
AFTER THE CITY REPLACED HER
WINDOWS.
THE SMELL IS GONE.
Reporter: WHY DID THE CITY
NOT NOTIFY HOMEOWNERS BACK IN
2015 AND THE FIRST COMPLAINT
CAME IN?
IN 2015 ONE OF -- OUT OF
EVERY 8000 AIRPORTS. THIS WAS
NOT AN INDICATION THAT THIS WAS
PART OF A LARGER TREND.
THAT GAVE US GREAT CONCERN.
Reporter: ANYONE WITH
CONCERNS ABOUT THEIR WINDOW
SHOULD CONTACT THE CITY.
WE HAVE THE
NUMBER@CBSCHICAGO.COM.
TOMORROW MORNING THE SOUND
INSULATION COMMITTEE FOR THE
O'HARE NOISE COMMISSION WILL
HOLD A MEETING WHERE HOMEOWNERS
CAN VOICE THEIR CONCERNS.
ROBIN ERICA THEY HAVE PLENTY OF
THEM.
FOR SO LONG THEY HAVE BEEN
WORRIED ABOUT THEIR HEALTH AND
THE SMELL.
HAVE THE INDICATED HOW LONG THE
TESTING WILL TAKE? IT IS
GOING TO TAKE QUITE A FEW
MONTHS.
