Indoor Air Quality & Student Performance Discussed in New Educational Video

Sept. 2, 2010 - PRLog -- Yesterday 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, entitled “Mold – A Known Asthma trigger”, was made available on Monday of this week followed by Wednesday’s release of “Indoor Air Quality & Student Performance”.

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.  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.”

The IAQ Video Network was launched in March of 2010 and has to date produced 7 videos from IAQA chapter workshops from Hawaii to Philadelphia as well as conference videos from the annual IAQA, ACCA, EIA, CETA, AIHce and NADCA conferences. Two educational videos have been produced with one covering the dangers of formaldehyde scheduled for release early next week.  The video network has also produced a number of corporate videos for companies in the IAQ, industrial hygiene, mold, remediation, lead, asbestos and HVAC industries.
