This book was released on 1999-09-28 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 3, 1977, Howell Township, New Jersey closed its schools while scientists tested for dangerous levels of asbestos. After reports of unexplained ailments in some children, the parents of 4,500 elementary school children had threatened to boycott classes until the Board of Education removed asbestos-containing materials. Similar cases occurred across the country. In February, 1977, the New York Times reported that the child whose illness had been attributed to asbestos actually had mononucleosis. Was the reaction of parents and officials unwarranted? Did scientific evidence exist indicating that asbestos in schools caused children to become ill? Was all the relevant information - including the impact of their decisions on public policy in the future - considered? Environmental Public Health Policy for Asbestos in Schools addresses these questions by focusing on the development, institutionalization, and consequences of federal environmental policy for asbestos in schools. This unique and timely book explores the history of asbestos in schools and buildings and how this issue shaped the development of public health policy. Insight into past policy, including how, why, and who caused action to be taken, will enlighten and guide the scientific and regulatory communities in the future. The story of asbestos is a cautionary tale. Other toxic agents, such as lead, nitrogen dioxide and radon, could follow the same model as asbestos, raising similar questions. Written in a straightforward style, Environmental Public Health Policy for Asbestos in Schools explains technical concepts in language easily understood by non-experts. Understanding the factors and judgments involved in this issue gives insight into how the government - and society - perceives, assesses, and develops public health policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on actions school districts have taken to manage asbestos. GAO found that: (1) because improper removal of asbestos-containing materials can cause health problems, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires asbestos removal only during building demolition or major renovation when the asbestos would be substantially disturbed if not removed first; (2) EPA recommends that schools manage asbestos in place through periodic inspection and surveillance and various abatement actions; (3) EPA reported in June 1991 that 90 percent of the response actions recommended in schools' management plans involved managing asbestos in place, while the remaining 10 percent involved removals; (4) the 15 school districts reviewed had removed some asbestos; (5) 13 districts removed asbestos because their management plans recommended removal, asbestos was an imminent hazard, or renovations or demolitions were being performed, and the remaining districts removed asbestos because they did not want to manage it in place; (6) there were no data available to determine the complete and current cost to address asbestos in schools, but in a 1987 analysis, EPA estimated that it would cost schools $3.1 billion over a 30-year period to comply with asbestos management requirements; (7) the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act requires initial inspection, development of a management plan, periodic surveillance and reinspection, special operation and maintenance procedures, and abatement response actions; (8) 14 of the 15 school districts employed a different contractor to prepare asbestos management plans and to perform the abatement work, and the district that used the same contractor for both functions used competitive bidding to award the contracts; and (9) the 15 school districts received $142,000 in federal assistance for asbestos abatement.
