A fresh air is comforting, healthy and comfortable, and a great convenient way to have that is a proper ventilation in electric fans and windows in our School. The students can easily get irritated and feel uncomfortable or they will become noisy and naughty if they are not proper ventilated. Proper ventilation needs to be applied in our School in order to feel comfortable, really enjoy learning, beautiful surroundings and be healthy.
Parents addressing air quality issues at their children`s school with increasing frequency. Commonly addressed issues include poor ventilation, mold fragrance, new carpeting, pesticides, and a myriad of cleaning products used on routine basis to maintain schools.
Now, researchers at the University of Tulsa, Indoor Air Program agree that increasing the ventilation rates in classrooms translates into improved academic achievement for students.
The researchers studied 100 elementary schools in the US in two different districts ventilation rates were measured along with students standardized test scores. Eighty seven of the 100 classrooms evaluated had ventilation rate below the recommended guidelines, indicating a need for average school to improve indoor air quality.
The results of the study found that every unit of ventilation rate increase 2.9% more students passed the standardized test for math and reading. This is a significant finding in terms academic achievement,
Students in well ventilated classrooms perform significantly better on standardized tests that their peers who receive in adequate fresh air. Accordingly to newly published research conducted by The University of Telsa`s Indoor Air Program.
Other methods of reducing indoor air pollution include the use of fragrance free, non-toxic cleaning products, avoiding the use of fragranced personal care products by students and staff, cleaning up mold and mildew, avoiding pesticide, use or using an integrative pest management practice, and using low or no-voc, non-toxic materials for building and renovations. This would include no-voc paints and avoiding varnishes, floor waxes, carpets, and other materials which release gases in to the air.
One common product that has made its way into Schools that pollutes indoor air is hand sanitizer. These germicidal products contain both fragrance and ingredients which are registered pesticides. Instead of relying on hand sanitizers, schools can encourage hand washing and provide fragrance free, non-toxic soap in restrooms.
With poor ventilation all containments that may be presented in a classroom. Scientific evidence shows that better air means better behavior. Many schools are starting to take this seriously and creating new policies and procedures so we need to conduct this in our school.
Yet the change is for benefit of students, which means cost savings long term for special education and remedial programs. Oftentimes a change to less toxic products also means less cost on the job injuries.
The bottom line is that nation`s student matter and do their best in class, and research shows they need fresh air.
