The US Environmental Protection Agency created this site to inform schools about the problem of indoor air quality. Indoor air quality (IAQ) can be worse than outdoor air quality, a dangerous proposition considering the heightened sensitivity of children to environmental pollution levels. The site is comprised of three key elements. Indoor Air Quality Basics for Schools is a fact sheet describing the importance of IAQ, sources of indoor air pollutants, how pollutants move through a building, and strategies for controlling indoor levels of pollution. The IAQ Tools for Schools Action Kit provides schools with an easy-to-implement plan for improving indoor air quality. The third element consists of relevant frequently asked questions and their answers.
