In our latest infographic, we take a look at the radon in schools and what is being done about testing and ensuring a safe environment for our children.
Radon affects all buildings equally whether it is a home, office or school. So, why do we ensure our home is tested for radon upon moving into it, but we don’t think about the building our children reside in for the majority of each year? It is not a common thought for many, but this topic is getting more exposure as more states enact legislature to help reduce unsafe levels of Radon in schools.
Although this topic is becoming more mainstream, it still has a long way to go with only 8 schools at publishing time having enacted any type of legislature. Thus, we bring you the following infographic to help increase exposure…The Deadly Test Schools Are Failing.
