<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;">That means students, teachers, and staff could be breathing unsafe air without even knowing it.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">SB 760 is a simple, common-sense solution. It would require schools to test for radon and fix problems when they’re found.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Our kids and educators deserve safe, healthy classrooms.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Sign on below to ask your lawmakers to finally move SB 760 forward and help protect the air in our schools.</strong></p>
