Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) seeks to protect school children

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the risk of school children being exposed to even low levels of asbestos is a concern.

Acting on this concern, Congress passed the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) in 1986 to protect school children and school employees from exposure to asbestos in school buildings.
