I wonder if there is fibreglass in it.It is easily scraped off, but creates dust from particles.I could remove it myself, but am wary of the dangers it might pose to lungs.There are no windows to the classroom. A student told me that it exacerbates his asthma.The schoolboard solution is to cover it up with a hanging tiledceiling.Is that reasonable?No money in education for removal, unless dangerous. Do I have any reason for concern?
no you shouldnt be worried .maybe you could ask janitor/caretaker to take it down after school-thats what i would do.After he has taken it down you could probably get some water and just scrub any patches or you can put posters on the ceiling? good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... also ask someone for advice e.g doctor,health clinic or if you could look up a type of sprayfoam and ask the company what stuff they usually put in spray foam?
If it is indeed dangerous, then it would have to be professionally removed. YOU would have to have the STATE come in and test the material. Renovation and Repair Contents Techniques for Protecting Occupants from Renovation Pollutants References and Resources Renovation is one of the major causes of poor indoor air quality (IAQ) in schools, and is often conducted while the building is occupied.
I would research it with the health dept. because it could have hazardous chemicals in it. just think they used lead based paint until I think 1978?
