I am not "paniking"  I want to know who high levels of radon were not reported or mentioned to me as a parent of students that attend one of these schools.  I want to know why nothing was done for 3 years.  I want to know what would have happened if a news source did not run this on their website and nightly news.  I am pretty sure nothing.  There are teachers that have stayed in the SAME class everyday for those 3 years.  Teachers that have been pregnant.  They aren't to be guinea pigs in what you or someone else might think are not "too bad" of levels.  They are over the limit.  Some are double the limit.  Who cares if the chances may not incredibly high.  But there is an INCREASED risk that no one can deny.  [b]And if those levels were 50%-100% over the limit then, whose to say they aren't 200-400% over the limit now - 3 years later[/b].  [/quote]

That's not how it works.[/quote]

Radon levels do indeed go up. It can stay the same too but it can also go up.  It isn't the same exact number for years and years.  [/quote]

And it can also go down.[/quote]

Okay MCPS representative lurking on DCUM. But if you blow it off for 3 years you have NO IDEA what those levels are.  Many of the schools who were okay could now be high too.  Stop rationalizing. [/quote]

Not an MCPS representative. Also not lurking.

Do you get your basement tested for radon every 3 years on grounds that the last testing was 3 years ago so you have NO IDEA what those levels are today?[/quote]

NP.  We get radon checked annually.  [/quote]
