According to HealthySchools.org, 55 million children attend public and private K-12 schools in the U.S. where poor air quality, hazardous chemicals and other unhealthy conditions can make students sick and compromise their ability to learn.
Whether we are talking about today’s chilling winter weather or the hot, hazy days of summer, the indoor air quality (IAQ) found in most schools not only interferes with a child’s ability to concentrate, it can also contribute to the spread of illnesses and increase asthma related reactions, both resulting in more school absenteeism.
Affecting students and teachers alike, indoor air pollution can cause headaches, dizziness, respiratory problems, coughing, fatigue, nausea, and trigger allergies.
