The EPA, in its 2024 report on successes in radon programs, noted Massachusetts Department of Public Health for support provided to school officials through education, guidance and advice.
To provide education to schools officials, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) linked American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists (AARST) radon industry standards on their website to make them accessible for code officials and school administrators.
During the 2024 reporting period, nearly 20 schools received radon testing recommendations as part of Indoor Air Quality program assessments. Additionally, MDPH provided case-by-case radon assistance, including guidance on radon resistant new construction, proper testing protocols, and technical advice for buildings with elevated radon levels.
