This is a recording of the 'Technical Forum on Radiation Health and Safety at Jana Elementary' event hosted by the Center for Environmental Education and Training, held on Wednesday, April 26, 2023 at the Salus Center Auditorium.

Beginning last summer, several investigations of radioactive substances have taken place at Jana Elementary. These investigations have resulted in conflicting views of whether the school has radioactive substances that could be harmful.

Lee Sobotka, Ph.D., professor of chemistry and physics at Washington University in St. Louis and Roger D. Lewis, Ph.D., professor emeritus of environmental and occupational health at Saint Louis University, will moderate the forum. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will provide an overview of their investigation. Data from other investigations of this site will also be presented.

The event is sponsored by the St. Louis American Industrial Hygiene Association, the Greater St. Louis Chapter of the Health Physics Society and the Center for Environmental Education and Training at Saint Louis University's College for Public Health and Social Justice.

Though the forum is designed for technicians who work in environmental remediation efforts, the event is open to the public, and anyone who is interested in exploring the science behind the recent investigations is welcome to attend.
