This report, authored by Victoria Wood from WellStat and published on February 2, 2024, covers the critical importance of indoor air quality in fostering better health and productivity among students in schools. IAQ is the silent influencer that affects cognitive abilities and academic outcomes from all the pollutants that originate either inside buildings or from external sources. One of the challenges to improving IAQ stems from a lack of budget from the province to address such operational challenges. Students as children and youth are more susceptible to illness due to their undeveloped immune systems. This paper gives examples such as lower levels of road traffic nearby and more celebrated room temperatures that can impact student success in the classroom. WellStat markets their wall mount for school use to have better data.
