The EPA estimates that one-third of U.S. schools have buildings in need of extensive repair or replacement. If your child's school was built before the 1980s it might contain asbestos in fireproofing, insulation, adhesives, cement or asbestos tile. Teachers and students should take care not to disturb any asbestos; exposure to asbestos fibers can result in mesothelioma, asbestosis and other lung diseases.
