Implement IAQ management and layered risk reduction strategies to reduce COVID-19 transmission and environmental asthma triggers in schools.
Utilize guidance and tools from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to choose safer disinfectants, effectively clean school facilities, and provide recommended ventilation and filtration to not only mitigate the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission but to create healthy learning environments for all students and staff, including those with asthma.
Employ best practices from environmental hygienists and health providers at a leading hospital-based community environmental health program to create asthma-friendly schools, protect occupant health and improve academic performance in schools through implementing proactive approaches for indoor environmental management.
