Radon Testing: The administration of the Greenwich Public Schools would like to provide you with notification that radon-in-air testing will be conducted beginningDecember 2,2013 and continuing until December 13, 2013. According to Connecticut General Statute 10-220(d), schools are required to inspect and evaluate the indoor air quality of school buildings by March, 2014. This required inspection and evaluation of indoor air quality includes evaluation of radon in the air and water. Facility Support Services, LLC, will conduct the radon testing.

These canisters will be left in place for three school days. You will be informed of radon test results and interpretations as soon as possible. ln the event that high radon levels are found, steps will be taken to correct the problem using methods suggested by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
