We had a great day today celebrating public schools during the Iowa Environmental Council's Advocacy Day at the Iowa Capitol! We were extra happy to run into Representative Art Staed, who was an original supporter of school radon legislation many years before it finally passed into law.

As wraps up, remember:
Healthy air = better learning
Reducing radon improves long-term student (and staff) health and supports better attendance and wellbeing.
A safe school is a successful school. Has your child’s school tested for radon? To learn more about acceptable levels of radon (spoiler alert: there is no acceptable level of radon), visit the link in the first comment.

Radon-resistant features can be built into new school construction, they’re cost-effective, and they're required by Iowa Code 280.32.
If your district is renovating or building, discuss radon-resistant design with your architect. To learn more about radon-resistant construction techniques, visit the link in the first comment.

With only a year and a half remaining before the July 1, 2027, deadline for Iowa schools to comply with Iowa Code 280.32 by testing their buildings for radon, fewer than half of Iowa schools have initiated the process.
We can do better.
Parents and teachers: your voice can move your district to act. For more information on Iowa schools’ compliance with radon testing, read the IPR article at the link in the first comment below.

Testing for radon is relatively easy and only takes about a week to provide accurate results. EAIS is DHHS-approved to provide schools training so they can test their own buildings for radon.

Awareness is the first step.
Testing is the second.
Action is what protects students.
Let’s keep pushing for radon-safe schools all year long.

Children breathe more air per pound of body weight than adults.
That means radon exposure in classrooms can place kids at higher risk.
Testing every school isn’t optional — it’s essential. And in Iowa, it’s the law.

Radon problems aren’t rare — they’re common.
More than 70,000 U.S. classrooms used today have dangerously high radon levels.
If your child’s school hasn’t tested recently, it’s time to ask.

Good news: radon is fixable.
Mitigation systems can reliably reduce high radon levels in schools.
We can’t fix what we don’t test — let’s start there.
