With millions of students across the country heading back to school during the preceding month and into next week a new video all parent should see has been released. Today the IAQ Video Network released the 2nd in a series of educational videos meant to educate the general public about indoor air quality issues. The first video is entitled “Mold – A Known Asthma trigger” was made available on Monday of this week followed by today’s release of “Indoor Air Quality & Student Performance”
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and their Indoor Air Quality Tools for Schools Program, “Good Physical Conditions Can Reduce Absenteeism, Improve Test Scores and Improve Teacher Retention Rates. Studies that measure school conditions using an index of several variables consistently show improved scores on standardized tests as school conditions improve… IAQ problems can cause increased absences due to respiratory infections, allergic diseases from biological contaminants, or adverse reactions to chemicals used in schools.”
“Releasing a second public educational outreach video in one week is an exciting development at the IAQ Video Network,” reported Paul Cochrane, President of Cochrane and Associates, the company behind the IAQ Video Network. “One of our primary goals when we began creating videos was to do all we can to educate people about IAQ issues, especially issues affecting children.”
