The Connecticut Department of Public Health has adopted radon testing guidelines for public schools pursuant to the State of Connecticut Department of Education statute pertaining to indoor air quality.
Pursuant to Connecticut General Statute (C.G.S.)Sec. 10-220(d) “prior to January 1, 2008 and every five years thereafter,” all schools shall be evaluated for radon levels as part of a uniform inspection and evaluation of the indoor air quality in buildings.
Considering recent school closures, please note that radon testing activities scheduled for March should be postponed until the next testing season. Radon testing is not to be conducted while school is not in session.
