Radon Testing Results
Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s):
As you are aware, the Afton Central School District recently tested both the bus garage and main building for Radon. This testing was performed by the Health and Safety Office of the DCMO BOCES under the guidance of the New York State Health Department's (DOH) Radon Program. The detectors used were supplied by the DOH at a reduced rate under a grant by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Detectors were sent to a New York State ELAP Laboratory, Radon Testing Corporation of America (RTCA) for analysis. I am pleased to announce all the testing results came back under the EPA Acton Level of 4 pCi/L. In our promise to be transparent, the results are posted on our website. As recommended, we will be testing again in 5 years or in the event there are changes to the buildings that may elevate the levels.
