Radon and Your Child’s School
www.epa.gov/radon/radon-schools
Your community has just built a brand new state of the art elementary school and high school. It’s been years in the making and the excitement is palpable. Every bell and whistle of new technology, security systems, sports arena and more has been implemented to support and nourish your child’s curious mind and active body.
Have you asked if the schools have been tested for radioactive radon gas? Your children and their educators have a right to learn and work in a “safe” environment. Long term exposure to elevated radon levels has been proven to cause lung cancer.
Be proactive and ask if this important test has been performed. The only way to know is to test!
