Yet Another School Set to Undergo Asbestos Remediation

Pearson Middle School in Winsted, Connecticut, is like a lot of schools across the country. For years, the school has been the place where teachers teach, students learn, and everyone has run the risk of asbestos exposure. This summer, administrators from Winchester Public Schools are taking action by launching an asbestos abatement effort.

According to the Environmental Protect Agency (EPA), it's very possible that asbestos exists in your child's school. Boiler wraps, pipe wrap insulation, ceiling tiles, and wallboard are all products frequently found in America's schools that commonly contain asbestos. The 1986 Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) requires by federal law that schools inspect their campuses for asbestos and provide an craft management plan, however, some schools have been poor about managing asbestos risk.
