Why Indoor Air Quality Matters for Student Health and Learning
Indoor air quality (IAQ) often goes unnoticed in discussions about creating an optimal environment for students, yet it plays a critical role in both health and learning outcomes. Students spend a significant portion of their day inside school buildings, making the quality of the air they breathe essential to their overall well-being and academic success.
Health Impacts of Poor Indoor Air Quality
Poor indoor air quality can lead to several health issues such as allergies, asthma, respiratory infections, and headaches. Exposure to pollutants like mold, dust mites, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and carbon dioxide can cause discomfort and chronic health problems, which in turn affect attendance and participation in school activities.
Enhancing Cognitive Function and Concentration
Studies have shown that high levels of indoor pollutants and elevated carbon dioxide in classrooms can reduce students’ concentration, problem-solving abilities, and memory retention. Fresh air and optimal ventilation directly contribute to improved cognitive functioning, enabling students to engage better, understand lessons more thoroughly, and perform well on tests.
