Indoor air quality (IAQ) plays a crucial role in student health and academic performance. Schools are environments where children spend a significant portion of their day, making it essential to ensure that the air they breathe is clean and free of harmful pollutants. Poor IAQ has been linked to various health issues, including respiratory conditions, allergies, and asthma, which can all affect a student's ability to learn and perform academically.
According to Steve Fontaine, America's indoor air quality expert and founder of IAQ Solutions and Consulting Inc., "Indoor air pollution is an invisible yet powerful barrier to student success. Schools must prioritize air quality to support both health and cognitive development."
