Radon tests at Liberty Elementary return clear results, district encourages periodic home testing
Summary
Short-term radon testing at Liberty Elementary found no elevated readings: 94 kits in 94 locations returned 'clear.' The district advised families to consider periodic home testing for radon.
District facilities staff reported that short-term radon testing at Liberty Elementary produced clear results: 111 test kits were installed Dec. 16–19 across 94 locations in the building, and all tests returned results within acceptable ranges.
TJ summarized the testing and reminded board members that radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a leading cause of lung cancer among nonsmokers, and recommended periodic radon testing for households, particularly those with basements and in local geology that can elevate radon risks. No mitigation actions were proposed because test results were within acceptable levels.
The board acknowledged the report and no further action was required.
