The Douglas County School Board will review
current radon mitigation tactics at Zephyr Cove
Elementary School during their board meeting
Tuesday.
The meeting starts at 3:30 p.m. at Douglas High
School in Minden.
District Business Services Director Holly Luna and
Dirk Roper, mitigation radon consultant with
Fallon Heating and Air, will present a summary
report on radon and the alternative mitigation
method called active slab depressurization.
The sub slab would create a vacuum under the
school, which would catch all the gas from the
ground, including radon, and release it in another
area away from the students. This would prevent
the radon gas from entering the school.
The district currently is using high-efficiency
particulate air filters, which filters out radon
progeny - radioactive particles into which radon
decays - after it enters the room.
