EPA Announces "IAQ Tools for Schools Action Kit"

Resources for Educators From the EPA - Help for IAQ (Indoor Air Quality)

Educators spend at least seven hours per day encased in the classroom with our children.

Teacher and student must be sure their Indoor Air Quality is good. "Who doesn't think that?".
