Healthy School Environments

Helping schools maintain a healthy environment for students, teachers and staff is a priority. Creating a healthy school environment includes maintaining good indoor air quality and reducing exposure to toxic substances.

Products and supplies used inside the school or on school grounds may contribute to poor indoor air quality (pollution) that can hurt student and teacher performance and result in missed school and work days. Poor indoor air quality can cause: 

  • Eye, nose and throat irritation
  • Nausea
  • Tiredness
  • Long-term conditions — such as asthma and allergies
