Good indoor air quality in schools is important to provide a safe, healthy, productive, and comfortable environment for students, teachers, and other school staff.
However, existing studies demonstrated that various air pollutants are found in classrooms, sometimes at elevated concentrations. Data also indicated that poor air quality may impact children's health, in particular respiratory health, attendance, and academic performance.
Nevertheless, it should be noted that there are other adverse health effects that are less documented. Few data exist for teachers and other adults that work in schools.
Allergic individuals seem to be at a higher risk for adverse respiratory health consequences.
Air quality improvement represents an important measure for prevention of adverse health consequences in children and adults in schools.
