To potentially have a case, you'd need to be able to show:
1) The mold caused your lung issues (you'd need medical tests, a diagnosis, etc. showing this);
2) The government was aware of the mold and/or reasonably should have been aware of it since they would not be liable unless they were negligent (unreasonably careless) or otherwise at fault.
