Managing Radon in Schools

The Managing Radon in Schools website provides tools and successful strategies to implement radon testing as part of a comprehensive indoor air quality (IAQ) management program for schools. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into buildings from the soil. Since radon exposure increases the risk of lung cancer, it is crucial to identify and mitigate elevated indoor radon levels. This resource includes tips for designing standard operating procedures, radon reduction plans, and using communication tools to make the radon program at schools meaningful.
