ISU’s Department of Residence enlisted EH&S to evaluate radon levels across the entire residential system. ISU became the first and only Iowa Regent University to complete radon testing across all university housing to ensure EPA recommended radon levels were met. Department of Residence customers and their families can rest assured that radon exposure is not an issue.

EH&S staff completed more than 100 moisture, mold, asbestos and indoor air quality investigations across campus. The Iowa Board of Regents relied on EH&S’ experts for monitoring services at the Iowa School for the Deaf in Council Bluffs and the Iowa Educational Services for the Blind & Visually Impaired (previously the Iowa Braille School) in Vinton.

Iowa industry called upon EH&S to provide safety services.  Through the Center for Industrial Research and Service (CIRAS) – EH&S Outreach partnership, EH&S offered training courses and health and safety consultation services such as air monitoring, ergonomics, instrument calibrations, and life safety plan reviews to businesses and manufacturers across Iowa. EH&S continued eliminating public hazards by assisting Iowa law enforcement agencies with incineration of controlled substances and serving as the radioactive waste broker for the State of Iowa.
