Schools are particularly susceptible to indoor air quality concerns for several reasons:
- The occupancy loading is high within individual class rooms.
- The broad base of occupancy can include individuals that are hypersensitive to contaminants and allergens.
- Many school buildings are tight and HVAC systems are adjusted to reduce the amount of outside air to conserve energy
- Emotional sensitivity exists with any exposure issue involving a child population.
