A few years ago, an EPA nationwide survey of radon levels in schools reported that over 19% of schools (seventy thousand schoolrooms) have radon levels above the 4 pCi/l action level (the level at which the EPA recommends radon mitigation action be taken).
To find out if your child’s school has a potential radon problem, you need to ascertain that it has been radon tested. If so, what were the results? If the school failed the radon test, have radon remediation measures been implemented?
Any building that is in contact with the ground can have an indoor radon problem. If your school has not been tested, the only way to find out if a radon health risk exists is to have it tested. Radon levels differ from one building to the next, and even between rooms or levels inside a single building. Never rely on radon test results of neighboring buildings!
Specific guidelines exist for proper radon testing of schools and large buildings:
* Who will conduct the testing, and are they qualified to do so?
* Budgetary considerations: Estimation of the number of test devices required according to number of classrooms, offices, and open areas (gymnasiums and cafeterias), including follow-up testing detectors.
* Partially testing several school buildings is ineffective. If funding is limited, plans should be established to test a single, entire, building at a time.
* All rooms at and below ground level, and about 20% of above-grade rooms, must be tested.
* After the initial radon screening tests, follow-up radon testing must be performed in any areas that have an initial screening radon result above (4pCi/l).
* Finally, a long-term follow-up radon test, lasting the entire school year, should be conducted.
* If the long-term follow-up test results reveal areas that have radon concentrations above the EPA Radon Action Level, radon mitigation measures must be implemented immediately.
Radon testing schools is actually no more complicated than home radon testing. The only difference between home kit radon tests and those used for schools is the packaging; kits intended for use in schools and large buildings are normally packaged in trays of 100 each. At www.homeradomtest.com, you can download a ‘School Radon Testing Form’ to help you determine the number of detectors needed to radon test your school.
On April 22, 2010, the new EPA’s Law on Renovation, Repair and Lead Paint will go into effect This new law will require all contractors, subcontractors, maintenance engineers, handymen, property managers and others paid to replace windows or renovate residential houses, apartments and child-occupied facilities built before 1978 to be certified by the U S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

Throughout the greater part of the 20th century, asbestos is a naturally-occurring mineral that was utilized in a variety of applications. Due to its flame resistant, highly durable and inexpensive qualities, it became the ideal choice for manufacturers as a form of insulation, piping, brake lining and flooring.
Many homes and buildings built prior to 1980 may still harbor asbestos, but even homes built in the 1990’s may contain asbestos in vermiculite insulation. Although Vermiculite alone does not contain asbestos, it came from one single mine that contained a large amount of asbestos. It was discovered long after heavy use in a variety of construction applications that asbestos exposure can result in debilitating chronic illnesses and cancers. This information was hidden from the public for decades!
By taking simple precautions, you can ensure that asbestos exposure will not occur in your home. Having a thorough home inspection can be beneficial to property owners looking to keep their homes and families safe.
Important Tips and Information
According to the experts, the general rule of thumb is if the asbestos is in good shape, it’s posing no apparent risk. If it’s in bad shape, it could be a problem. Normally, asbestos can appear in roof shingles, attic insulation, pipe coverings, joint compounds, electrical wires, furnace cement, fire brick and gaskets. In some instances, the best course of action will be to let it be. It is recommended for homeowners to leave any suspected asbestos alone, as this can takes its fibers airborne.
A home inspection is extremely important in a variety of scenarios. In order to protect your investment, professional consultants can provide an evaluation of the home. Consultants will identify material defects structures and components of the home, in adherence to or exceeding national, state, and industry regulations and standards.
Exposure to asbestos can lead to the development of many health ailments such as mesothelioma. Asbestos fibers are thin and long and when inhaled they can become lodged in ones chest cavity. It can take anywhere from 20 to 50 years for this disease to appear, making it tough to accurately diagnose. With limited treatments available, this form of asbestos lung cancer usually receives poor prognosis from physicians. This makes a mesothelioma life span not as positive as one would hope.
Removal of asbestos in public facilities, workplaces and homes must be performed by licensed abatement contractors who are trained in handling toxic substances. They must wear protective equipment such as masks and gloves to avoid any exposure. The area is usually isolated from the rest of the house by shutting down ventilation systems and sealing them.
Healthy Green Alternatives
Many locations throughout the United States are swiftly changing their construction practices to suit the environment and the health of human beings. The implementation of Eco-construction, green energy solutions will play an important role in the transformation to a healthier and sustainable world. The U.S. Green Building Council conducted a study which estimated a new savings of – per square foot for positively constructed green homes and buildings.
Alternatives to asbestos allow for a healthy and safe home, free of health damaging materials. These include: cotton fiber, lcynene foam and cellulose. Cotton fiber is quickly becoming a favorite for home builders and renovators. Made from recycled batted material, it is also treated to be fireproof. These green options have the same beneficial qualities as asbestos, minus the health deteriorating and toxic components.
If you are a home owner and suspect that asbestos is present, make sure to call a home inspector immediately to determine the proper course of action. With the right amount of awareness, it is completely avoidable and preventable to keep yourself away from asbestos!
