Webinar: Radon in Schools: EPA Tools for Schools and Case Studies
Date: Tuesday, March 16
Time: 2:00-3:30 p.m. EST
REGISTRATION LINK: http://bit.ly/3sx4MXF

Successful IAQ management in schools comprises effective pollution source control. , a radioactive gas, is one of the most hazardous indoor pollutants. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, responsible for more than 21,000 annual deaths. Thousands of classrooms nationwide have elevated radon levels, needlessly exposing hundreds of thousands of students and staff to this serious health risk. As part of an effective IAQ management program, schools can take simple steps to test for radon and reduce risks to occupants if high radon levels are found.

During this webinar, leaders from the U.S. EPA, state departments of health, and school operations management will share guidance for managing radon in schools, including testing, results interpretation, and mitigation. Three case studies will also be presented to provide the audience with examples of this guidance at work in Connecticut, Minnesota, and Oregon.
