Summary
<p style="text-align: left;">Radon is an invisible gas that can cause lung cancer- and it’s been found in nearly every school across Pennsylvania. The problem is, many schools are never tested, and even when high levels are found, they’re not always fixed.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>That means students, teachers, and staff could be breathing unsafe air without even knowing it.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.palegis.us/legislation/bills/2025/hb289">HB 289</a> is a simple, common-sense solution. It would require schools to test for radon, fix problems when they’re found, and provide funding so schools can make those repairs.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Our kids and educators <em>deserve</em> safe, healthy classrooms.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Sign on below to ask your lawmakers to support HB 289 and help protect the air in our schools.</strong></p>
