Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Tools for Schools provides school personnel with the information and support they need to manage air quality issues in low-cost, practical ways. Indoor air quality is an important issue for children with asthma because air pollutants like mold, dust and chemical fumes can trigger an asthma episode.
A project of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, IAQ Tools for Schools can:
• Save money by preventing indoor air quality problems from developing into expensive repairs
• Prevent health problems for students and staff
• Reduce the number of missed school days and improve the learning environment
The IAQ Tools for Schools Action Kit provides hands-on materials schools can use to prevent or manage indoor air quality problems, including a step-by-step guide, training videos, and facts on indoor air pollution sources.
