Have you thought about how important it is that the air you breathe is clean enough?

Indoor air quality is a concept related to the levels of pollutants in the air in various indoor environments, including schools.

 

The lower the levels of pollutants in the indoor air, the higher the quality of the air, and the higher the pollutant levels, the lower quality the air. Indoor air quality directly or indirectly affects human health and the performance of people at school and work.

Most of us know that outdoor air pollution can affect our health, but indoor air pollution can also seriously affect our health.

 

Because indoor air pollutant levels can be 2 to 5 times higher in general, and in some special cases, more than 100 times higher than outside. In addition, indoor air quality is even more important as we spend 80-90% of our time indoors. Therefore, studies show indoor air pollution as one of the top five most important factors in terms of public health.

Indoor Air Quality in Schools and Its Importance!!!

Scientific data show a relationship between indoor air quality and respiratory diseases, including asthma.

 

The prevalence of asthma in our country shows an increasing trend every year. Asthma and other respiratory diseases can be one of the most important reasons for absenteeism from school.

 

In addition to absenteeism, there may be loss of performance due to illness. Scientific studies show that with the improvement of indoor air quality, the productivity of both adults and students increases, and their success in mental tasks such as focusing and remembering. For example, the spread of infectious disease and absenteeism can be reduced by providing adequate fresh air to the classrooms; teachers' general health status and productivity can be improved; It has been observed that students' exam grades and performance in mental tasks can be increased. One study found that grades of children studying in classrooms with more fresh air were 14-15% higher than those studying in classrooms with low fresh air.

The number of days that primary school children are absent from school because of asthma is 10.5 million days in the USA.

It is known that poor indoor air quality can cause health effects ranging from unexplained headaches, redness of the eyes and skin, coughing and flu-like symptoms to triggering and worsening of asthma and other respiratory diseases, as well as negatively affecting student and teacher performance. 

In addition, children breathe more air per unit body weight than adults and are more sensitive and vulnerable to the effects of pollutants as they continue to develop. Other sensitizing factors can be listed as having allergies or asthma, respiratory disease, suppressed immune system, and wearing contact lenses.
