Radon is a naturally-occurring gas that is produced below ground. It is very common throughout Minnesota. Radon is invisible, odorless and is released into the ambient air from fissures in sub-grade rocks beneath the soil.
Currently, there’s no requirement for school districts in Minnesota to test for radon.
ISD #831 has a five year plan to test for radon concentration starting during the 18-19 school year. With the assistance of an environmental consulting firm, testing was completed for Columbus Elementary, Forest Lake Elementary, Forest View Elementary, Wyoming Elementary and the District Office.
