Online Edition
THE newly laid plastic track in a kindergarten in Songjiang District was removed last night after parents complained that it had pungent odor and might have caused nosebleed, skin rash and cough among kids.
The city education commission also said last night that it has launched a citywide inspection in all new plastic tracks laid this year and other facilities related to students' health in all schools after two local kindergartens were reported for similar health problems.
Infrastructure management center of the Songjiang education bureau asked Shanghai Longgu decoration company, who laid the track in the New Ideal campus of the involved Huating No.2 Kindergarten during the summer vacation, to explain the construction process and rectify the track on Monday, while the company proposed to eradicate the plastic track.
The district education bureau said it approved its rectification plan in concern of students' health though tests by local environment protection department confirmed air on the site as safe.
Parents of students at the Pujiang Town No. 1 Kindergarten's Jade Campus also said their children had similar symptoms with those in Songjiang and suspected the newly paved plastic track as the culprit.
Students have been shifted to another campus and tests on samples of the track is underway.
The city's education commission has also launched tests with construction management, health and environmental protection departments on plastic tracks in the two kindergartens and will release their findings to the public.
Problems must be rectified and illegal deeds would be treated seriously if any were found, said the commission in a statement.
