This research of the researchers is focused on the internal environment and health. The indoor environment is important because most of the COVID-19 infection is spread through the indoor air.
threat of covid in schools
in the world covid The epidemic is going to be about 3 years, but it is not completely over yet. There are still effects of COVID in many countries including India, America. With the onset of winter in the US, it will be challenging for many schools to keep up with not only the movement of air in classrooms, but also classrooms. At the same time, it will also be difficult to provide a healthy comfortable environment to the students and teachers.
Improving classroom air quality in schools covid and related to the breath asthma, allergies The risk of such diseases can be reduced. Patricia Fabian and Jonathan Levy of Boston University have given this information on the basis of a research study in this regard.
studies affected due to air quality
Children and teachers spend an average of more than six hours a day in classrooms at school. These classrooms are often in buildings that are decades old and do not have adequate ventilation, heat and ventilation. During the autumn season this year, studies were affected due to COVID-19. During this the importance of air quality inside schools came to be known.
Ideally, all school buildings should have adequate ventilation, clean air in each classroom and open windows. But sadly it is not so. As a result, the air quality inside many schools has deteriorated.
CDC gave exemption
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued COVID-19 guidelines for schools in August 2022, under which rules such as wearing masks, testing and isolation are to be taken to prevent infection. was given a discount. Concerns have increased in the wake of these guidelines.
Apart from reducing the spread of COVID-19, the air quality inside the classroom also matters for the academic performance of the students. This is especially important given the damage done to children’s education in the first two years of the pandemic. It will be difficult for children to study in classes with heat, difficulty in breathing. The same will happen in classes with cold temperatures.
research based on the internal environment
This research of the researchers is focused on the internal environment and health. The indoor environment is important because most of the COVID-19 infection is spread through the indoor air. There is substantial evidence that proper ventilation in school buildings can reduce the spread of infectious disease. At the same time, it can further improve the learning environment and health for students, teachers and administrators.
huge amount spent on covid control
Since the spring of 2020, schools have invested millions of dollars in efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Under these, high-efficiency and long-lasting filter units have been installed in schools and air-circulation has been improved.
Given the structural reforms needed in many schools, especially the less wealthy district schools, these efforts are a drop in the ocean, but it is an important start. And even after COVID-19, their benefits can be found, so they should not be abandoned. High-efficiency filters, for example, capture the flu and common viruses as well as the SARS-CoV-2 virus particles.
mechanical ventilation
Schools with mechanical ventilation are able to increase the amount of filtered fresh air. It neutralizes all the internal pollutants. It can prove to be very helpful for children and school staff especially people sensitive to asthma, allergies. So it is quite clear that quality air actually improves education and health.
