42% of New York Schools Have Tested Positive for Elevated Lead in Drinking Water. Today's Adirondack Explorer article highlights findings from a September 2026 NYPIRG report, underscoring a serious challenge for New York school administrators and facilities managers.

Lead can enter drinking water through aging plumbing, fixtures, and solder. While NY has strengthened testing requirements—lowering the action level from 15 to 5 parts per billion—identifying contamination is only the beginning.

Addressing the problem requires identifying contamination sources, evaluating remediation options, and incorporating solutions into facility maintenance and renovation plans. Early action can help protect students and staff while minimizing costs and disruptions. The Adirondack Explorer article is well worth reading; we've placed a link in the comments.

Planning an LED lighting upgrade in an older school?

Some fluorescent light ballasts manufactured before 1979 may contain PCBs. Identifying them before work begins can help avoid an unexpected environmental issue during the project.

This Labor Day, we honor the people who built New York.

The ironworkers, laborers, tradespeople and craftspeople whose skill, courage and hard work helped raise our towns and cities, build our schools and hospitals, and create the infrastructure generations of New Yorkers have relied upon.

And we celebrate the men and women who carry that tradition forward today—building, maintaining and improving the places where we live, work, learn and gather.

From all of us at Adelaide Environmental Health, thank you to the working people who built New York—and those who keep rebuilding it every day.

Happy Labor Day.

“Existing to remain” doesn’t necessarily mean “left undisturbed.”

In older schools, seemingly routine design decisions can affect lead compliance, project specifications, schedules and budgets. Our latest article looks at why architects, construction managers and school facilities teams should consider potential lead-painted surfaces during design—not after construction documents are complete.

Planning a school renovation in New York? The asbestos survey shouldn’t be an afterthought.

Under New York State requirements, asbestos investigation is closely connected to project planning and design—and the information uncovered during a survey can directly affect demolition limits, specifications, budgets, phasing and construction schedules.

That’s especially important for schools, where much of the work may need to be completed within a limited summer construction window.

Our latest article looks at where the asbestos survey belongs in the renovation process, why existing surveys may not always be enough, and the questions school administrators and facilities managers should be asking before design gets too far along.

Summer construction season is almost over for New York schools. Is your district prepared?

Renovations involving flooring, HVAC systems, ceilings, electrical work, restrooms and other building components can potentially disturb asbestos-containing materials. Discovering those materials after construction begins can lead to delays, added costs and compliance challenges.

Our latest article outlines 7 asbestos planning priorities for New York school districts—from completing surveys and reviewing AHERA documentation to scheduling abatement and evaluating indoor air quality before students return.

The key? Start environmental planning early.
