Management Of Indoors Air Quality

“Asthma is a chronic respiratory illness often associated with familial, allergenic, socioeconomic, psychological and environmental factors.” (Rhodes 2002) Traffic related air pollution at home and school has been associated with adverse health effects, specifically on the respiratory system, resulting in an increased prevalence of asthma in children. The Southern California Children’s Health Study was designed to look at the chronic effects of air pollution on respiratory health. Previous research has shown an association of asthma with those that live in residential areas in close proximity to major roadways and exposure to traffic pollutants.

Right now, the school buildings are like tooth decay just falling apart. School buildings are infested with mice, rats, water bugs, bed bugs, roaches, ants, centipedes, and spiders just to name a few. The buildings have water leaking periodically through the ceilings in more than one part of the school. The restrooms look like it has been hit by a tornado as there are paper towel all over the floor, graffiti over the wall, and some of the toilets are leaking as well. Even mushrooms are growing in the classrooms, these buildings should be inspected and cleaned to the best that it can be cleaned. It’s uncomforting to be learning, teaching or even be in an unhealthy environment, so this issue is one of the main that should be dealt with.

* Fresh air and light: This is very important for children to be healthy. When we take the children outside we are also giving them the opportunity to breathe in fresh oxygenated air which is essential for growing children and also giving them plenty of vitamin D from sunlight. Our class rooms are also very well ventilated and this ensures that the air is always circulating in and out of the class room and they all face an outside area to allow sunlight to enter the class room throughout the day. This is important because young children don’t yet know that they must cover their mouth when they cough to prevent germs from spreading (this is promoted though activities in class and also posters in the corridors). So if the air is well ventilated then germs are being reduced from spreading

The establishment of a health and safe environment is essential for the work of the school. It is also a law. It depends upon sound management, vigilant supervision and the co-operation of all children and adults.

Poor air quality is associated with some health issues from the short-term problems to severe

Children of all ages can suffer health issues in an improperly cleaned school environment. These issues include such asthma and other respiratory ones, and can be triggered by exposure to dust and dirt, mould, pollen, chemicals, and other allergens. For this reason, school authorities need to ensure that their buildings receive thorough, quality cleaning with only safe, non-toxic methods to control the above triggers and to sanitise the school. Further details about this topic are in the following facts.

Air pollution is one the effect of the environment problem that human is faced now a day. An air pollutant is the mixture of solid or fine particle and gases that are suspended in the air usually caused by human activities, and their inhaling is harmful to human body [1]. Recently in December 2015, the air quality in the city of Beijing in China was unhealthy that forced schools to close, outdoor constructions to halt and to reduce car traffics [2]. In New York City is not also immune to this scourge. According to New York Environmental Protection, air pollution in New York City is significantly environmental threat despite many improvements [3]. This research project investigates the indoor air quality at Hostos Community College. The objective

In contrast to what most people are made to believe, the air inside your home can be 80 to 100 times more polluted than the air outside. Your home is supposed to be a safe dwelling place that’s meant to protect us from unnecessary exposure to unhealthy contaminants like allergens, germs and dust, dirt, etc. However, a continuous build-up of dirt, dust and bacteria in our air duct can lead to different kinds of chronic illnesses including allergies and

The news story focuses on data showing that fourth and fifth graders in El Paso, Texas who are heavily exposed to contaminated air in their home environment display lower grade point averages. The study done by Clark-Reyna and her associates focuses on the students’ exposure to air toxics at home and the impact it has on his or her school performance. There was bolstering evidence that air pollution impairs have the capability to impair success in school.

In general, people believe that the atmosphere has a big role in the learning environment. It is not an exception in the preschool room of my field placement centre. The children are encouraged to play because the environment is adequate and has maximized learning spaces, indoor space and storage.

Enable environment is important for children and young people in the setting because children needs to feels safe and secure in the setting because setting becomes second home for children as they eat and sleep in the setting as they all provided by the practitioners in the setting how their parents would do it therefore they have to feel safe and secure. Because indoor environment have effective quality on their learning and developing this is really important in children health and grown development and also meeting their milestones. Environments should be attractive for children and make children feel safe and secure and happy to be there in the setting and they should also be places where they can confidently play and

Today, air quality is something that plays a major role in all of our lives. The types of chemicals or substances that are present in our air can be very alarming depending on where you live or who you are. Air pollution can cause various health effects to children and one major issue is asthma. In the past, researchers have indicated that heavy traffic leads to asthma if a child lives close to traffic. Also, other studies have looked at heavy traffic near schools and found that the prevalence of respiratory symptoms has increased. The studies mentioned did not provide strong associations or highly sound data, which lead to the Southern California Children’s Health Study (CHS). McConnell et al. (2010) wanted to investigate air pollution and

Ventilation is much more than air flowing throughout a building. Most ventilation systems introduce outdoor air, condition it by mingling it with portions of indoor air and then distributing the resulting combined air throughout the building, usually dispelling small portion outside of the building structure. If any part of the process is inadequate or faulty, the quality of indoor air may be jeopardized and can result in harmful toxins or pollutants circulating in enclosed spaces where they can pose health risks.

A poor indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in educational buildings can have a significant negative impact on the performance and comfort of the building occupants and given the fact that a large population spends its time indoor in educational buildings, indoor environmental quality cannot be ignored. LEED IEQ credits established by United States Green Building Council (USGBC) provide a guideline through which quality of indoor environment can be improved.
