[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take a look. Is yours one of them? Where you informed? [b]This seems VERY shady. [/b] Some of these levels are cancer-level ranges. http://wjla.com/news/local/dangerous-levels-of-radon-found-in-28-mcps-schools[/quote] What specifically seems VERY shady to you, here? That there are some rooms in MCPS schools with high radon levels? That MCPS did radon testing but didn't tell you the results? What? Radon is not an instant poison. The risk comes from exposure over time. The risk to a student from spending 5 hours a day in a classroom for 180 days for one year is not much. The risk to a teacher is higher, since the teacher could be in the same classroom for several years. This is not to minimize the dangers of radon. It's to say that it's not grounds for panic, if you are a parent of a student. http://www2.epa.gov/radon/health-risk-radon[/quote]
