OSTI ID:5408389
This bill was introduced into the US Senate on March 6, 1991 to require radon testing in schools. Radon may be especially hazardous to small children who spend a substantial portion of a day in school buildings. On April 20, 1989, the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency issued a national advisory recommending that all schools be tested for radon. There is a need for the federal government to provide financial assistance to states and local educational agencies for implementation of measures to reduce elevated levels of radon.
