> Here is a link to legislation recently introduced in Rhode Island  
> which bans the construction of schools on sites where there is a  
> potential for vapor intrusion to enter into a building; and  
> requiring a more through review and public process for school  
> projects proposed on sites formerly used for industrial or landfill  
> purposes.  This legislation was developed by a stakeholder group  
> established by a court order as part of the lawsuit I brought many  
> years ago challenging the siting of two schools on the former  
> Providence City Dump.
