BARTON, Vt. -
The Vermont Department of Health is testing childcare facilities in Newport, Lyndonville, St. Johnsbury and Derby for radon gas.
A press release says the Northeast Kingdom Community Action (NEKCA) hopes to test all 14 of their early childhood education centers. Two-hundred students are educated by the NEKCA Head Start program.
"By testing for radon and switching to 'greener' cleaning products, we can create a better environment for the children," said Linda Michniewicz, program director for NEKCA Head Start. "We want to reduce the risk of radon, and work to improve the overall air quality as well."
The testing is mandated nationally by Head Start which hopes to reduce the risk of radon in schools and childcare facilities.
The gas can get into your home from the soil and the water supply. The press release says prolonged exposure to radon, a colorless, ordorless gas, is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.
