Radon Test Results Below Levels
This school year, the Treynor Community School District tested its elementary building for radon. We recently received good news! Our test results came back well below the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) advised radon action level of 4.0 pCi/L. This means we now have peace of mind that our students, teachers, and staff are learning and working in spaces that are as safe as possible from radon.
To learn how to accurately do the initial radon testing ourselves, we saved taxpayer dollars by receiving training from the School Radon Training & Support System facilitated by Energy Association of Iowa Schools (EAIS). If we would have found elevated radon in our school, EAIS would have coached us through the process of fixing it. EAIS also helped us proactively place our other school buildings on a multi-year rotating radon test schedule so we can continue to ensure radon safety in the future.
