Do you know the radon levels in your school or daycare?   (Oct 2020)

Since children, teachers, and staff experience radon exposure in schools many hours per week, it is important to know your school (or daycare) radon levels. For over 25 years, the EPA and IEMA has recommended radon testing in schools. In fact in Illinois daycares are REQUIRED to test every 3 years and post the results for the parents. This recommendation came after the national school radon survey found 1 of 5 schools had one or more rooms with high radon concentrations. Since radon exposure causes lung cancer, parents and employees of our schools have a right to know the levels in our schools. Watch this video on a former school teacher in Duluth, MN whose cancer has already spread to her lymph nodes and brain.
