Acknowledgement to Ironshore Environmental
Ironshore EDU is a comprehensive environmental insurance policy that assists schools in managing their environmental exposures in an affordable manner, thereby helping to control not only environmental liabilities but also school finances.
Exposures:

• Mold:  Costly remediation of mold growth; associated bodily injury claims.
• Contaminated drinking water:  Bodily injury claims related to drinking water, whether the drinking water wascontaminated on or offsite.  Remediation expenses to neutralize any contamination impacting the drinking water.
• Caulk containing PCBs:  PCBs can be emitted into the air increasing the potential of bodily injury for those exposed. Thecaulk can also settle in soil outside of the school resulting in expensive soil excavation and removal.
• Legionella:  Bodily injury claims related to drinking water or indoor air impacted by legionella.
• Carbon monoxide:  Caused by machinery malfunctions, and can lead to serious bodily injury including death.
• Storage tanks:  Releases of heating oil or fuel from underground or aboveground storage tanks may impact the Insured’s or neighboring properties, thereby necessitating remediation expenses or resulting in claims for bodily injury.
• Indoor Air Quality:  Many of the above issues affect indoor air quality. Minors/students are often more susceptible to poor indoor air quality, and therefore are at greater risk of injury. Offsite industrial and commercial sites (gas stations, dry cleaners, etc.) can impact indoor air quality at schools due to releases of pollutants at these sites.
• Defense:  Claims for environmental exposures can be costly, even when the Insured ultimately prevails on the merits.
