Air Force finds toxic gas in base day care center, forgets to act on it for over a year
Fox News
A personnel memo at Whiteman Air Force Base warned that testing at the Missouri installation's day care revealed elevated radon levels in the baby and toddler rooms.
The memo, which the Air Force confirmed was authentic to Fox News Digital, was originally shared with the popular "Air Force amn/nco/snco" Facebook page. The document said tests revealed samples of radon above the "accepted federal level" in June 2022 while the rest of the rooms in the facility tested below "acceptable levels." Those results were recorded and submitted to the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM) "but were not acted upon," the memo reads.
"We are reviewing internal records and working with our partners at USAFSAM to determine how this breakdown occurred," the memo continues.
