Metro Nashville Teachers Demand Action
Following Radon Investigation
March 30, 2011 • Ben Hall, WTVF-TV
Watch this WTVF-TV news segment.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Metro Nashville teachers are demanding action
from the school board following a NewsChannel 5 investigation.
They're concerned about dangerous levels of the cancer-causing
gas radon in classrooms.
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer.
The last time Metro schools were tested for radon was in 1989, as
part of an EPA study. Those tests showed extremely high levels of
the radioactive gas.
"I would not want my child in there, or my wife, or myself," said
Radon Professional, Doug Taylor, as he looked through school
maps detailing radon test results.
NewsChannel 5 Investigates obtained the maps that show radon
levels in every classroom of the 11 schools tested by the EPA in
1989.
"I mean they're extremely high" remarked Taylor.

RADON FOUND IN METRO NASHVILLE SCHOOLS
Taylor Restoration's Owner, Doug Taylor is interviewed.

Here's an excerpt from that interview.
How unusual is a reading like 81.9?
Doug Taylor responded, "Seldom do a I see numbers above 25."
The EPA standard is 4.
But tests showed many classrooms well above 25 picoCuries.
Take Two Rivers High School, now Middle School. Tests showed three classrooms above 100
picoCuries, and many classrooms well above 60.
"You've got 116 and 136 over here," Taylor said as he reviewed the map of Two Rivers.
The EPA lowered radon levels at Two Rivers, and Metro claims it lowered levels other schools,
although school officials provided no proof of any work done after 1989.
View school maps showing EPA radon test results for each classroom in 1989.
Still, despite warnings from the EPA about a "serious radon problem," Metro hasn't tested any school
in more than 20 years.
"It does make me angry," Taylor said. "You've got documents that you showed me, that they knew
many, many years ago that radon was a problem in the schools."
Metro teachers are concerned as well.
