(The Times of Trenton)  The concentration of radon in a Princeton University residential building's basement library is about six times higher than the national average indoor level for radon, a naturally occurring cancer-causing gas, according to air-quality tests the university has been conducting this week .

As tests continue, the university said the elevated radon level poses no imminent risk to the public and that the Forbes College library will remain closed while the university develops a remediation plan.

Princeton administrators decided to check the radon levels at Forbes and another residential building after a group of students participating in a physics lab notified them May 1 that they detected apparently elevated levels of radon in the basement areas of Forbes College and the basement of Edwards Hall, an upperclass dormitory.

As an added precaution, the university plans to measure radon levels at other campus buildings beginning this summer, something it has done in the past as well.
