Work on reducing radon levels at Willow School and Island City Elementary School is underway. Radon is a naturally occurring below-ground radioactive, colorless and tasteless gas that can cause health problems when there is prolonged exposure. Testing identified portions of Willow and Island City as having radon levels that need to be lowered.
Much of the mitigation work at Willow and in the principal's office at Island City involves the installation of vents and exhaust fans to suck out radon gas, preventing it from entering buildings.
