Is your child breathing radon gas at school?
On February 29th, Jeff Rossen reported on The Today Show that “when we send our children to school, we assume that they’re safe; that they’re learning in a healthy environment. But health officials say there’s a danger in the air: a toxic cancer causing gas in thousands of classrooms nationwide. And, we found, many districts are doing nothing about it”. Yarmus Engineering, P.C. was pleased to learn that The Today Show worked with the very same testing laboratory that we utilize for radon sample analysis.
Yarmus Engineering, P.C. is available to provide site consulting services regarding radon infiltration, including radon testing and available remediation options. Such services can be provided as part of a pre-purchase real estate inspection or as a stand-alone service. Please contact our office if we can be of assistance to you or your clients.
