Major Air Pollutants
Students spend more hours in educational institutes than in their homes. Listed below are some air pollutants that may be present on school premises, and these can affect the productivity of students and staff alike.
PM2.5
Minute dust particles that are inhaled during breathing and can enter the bloodstream.
CO2
CO2 levels at times cross the desired CO2 limits, and this is seen most in schools and colleges.
TVOC
Items such as glue, markers and aerosol sprays are among the potential sources.
Ozone
Ozone may affect the lungs, more so the developing lungs of students.
PM2.5
Chalk dust, outdoor PM entering via open windows
CO2
Respiration
Ozone
Outdoor O3 that comes in via windows, printers, photocopiers
TVOCs
Carpets, furniture and craft items such as markers, glue, paints, etc.
Who are at Risk?
Every group of people is at risk when exposed to air pollution in schools or institutes, though some groups suffer far more harm than healthy adults ever do.
Respiratory Illness
Those students and staff with a breathing illness start off with weaker lungs and airways.
Teachers
Among the side effects are a fall in productivity, more days absent and a weaker focus.
Sensitive Groups
Older teachers, pregnant women and others are more likely to fall ill with lung problems.
Students
Exposure to unhealthy air can affect the growth of tissue and cells in young students.

- Pupil absence reduced by 10-20%
- Better memory, attention span and IQ skills
Students Without Clean Air
