Why Test for Radon in Schools?
Does your state require school or daycare testing?
- The Policy Surveillance Program (A Law Atlas Project from Temple University) is an excellent resource on radon law throughout the United States.
- Find it here: http://lawatlas.org/datasets/state-radon-laws.
- Select Yes under does your state require testing. Then select either Yes under Schools or Yes under Daycares to see if you state requires testing in these buildings.
- More information on the PolicySurveillance Program for radon law can be found in this pdf
How, When, and Where to Test Your School
Introduction to Radon in Schools
EPA's Indoor Air Quality Tools for Schools: Managing Radon in Schools 
- The Indoor Air Quality Tools for Schools Approach: Key Drivers and Strategies for Success.
- Published by the EPA in June 2010
- Available for download as a pdf here.
Measurement in Schools
EPA's Radon Measurement in Schools: Revised Edition
- EPA Radon In Schools - current EPA guidance to schools
- School Measurement Workbook - link at EPA website
- Download a pdf Radon Measurement in Schools and Workbook (Original radon testing guidance for schools. Published by the EPA in July 1993.)
- Protocol for Conducting Measurements of Radon and Radon Decay Product In Schools and Large Buildings (MALB 2014).
- The AARST MALB 2014 can only be accessed by purchasing the document. It is, however, the most current, up-to-date consensus-based standard for radon measurement in schools and large buildings. As such, it is well worth the purchase price.
- To purchase, go to the AARST online store.
Mitigation in Schools That Test High
- Radon Mitigation Standards for Schools and Large Buildings (RMS-LB-2018). This is the most current, up-to-date consensus-based standard for radon mitigation in schools and large buildings. As such, it is well worth the purchase price.
Copies of RMS-LB-2018 may be purchased from the Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists or from the American National Standards Institute.
Or view online (only) for free from the American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists' website.
- EPA's Reducing Radon in Schools: A Team Approach (EPA 402-R-94-008, April 1994)
