Fairmont School Board gets update on radon tests

Date Published: 02/26/2020 [Source]

The Fairmont School Board on Tuesday heard from director of buildings and grounds Tyler Garrison, who gave an update on some recent projects.

He began by discussing a radon test that came back with generally good results.

"An action level of 4.0 or greater requires action to be taken, and none of our samples were higher than 4.0," he said. "We had 128 kits that were placed at the elementary school and all 128 kits were in the 0.0 to 1.9 range, which is very good.

"At the high school, we had 111 kits placed in that building. 109 were in that low rage, but we did have one room that was 3.0 to 3.9, and we will be doing some extra air intake and open our dampeners to get that number down. We're still below the action level, but we are going to pursue that one."
