Asbestos and the Poor Environment of America's Schools

For teachers and staff who worked at an elementary school located in Fairfield, Connecticut, a common joke was that working in the school was less a suburban New England experience and more like working in a building in a South American rain forest. The school, which had been built on a wetlands site, left the school’s maintenance staff routinely dealing with repairs such as chronic leaky ceilings and soggy carpets. This school is not unique, but rather, one of hundreds of elementary, middle and high schools in the U.S. that suffer from “sick building syndrome,” a term coined to describe problems as diverse as asbestos or environmental pollutants.

In a 1995 report published by the General Accounting Office (GAO) report entitled "School Facilities: Condition of America's Schools," they report that more than 14 million children attend a school with an environmental problem. And in the 13+ years since that report was published, environmental advocacy experts EPA experts claim that little has been done to correct these problems.
