School Indoor Air Quality Improvement: Lessons from Multnomah County, Oregon (50m Lecture)


Through an EPA grant, Multnomah County Environmental Health implemented an indoor air quality program during the 2013-14 school year. We conducted environmental assessments in 20 schools within 3 school districts. Goals were to create local advocates for effective IAQ management, strengthen health care professionals’ use of environmental asthma management practices, and improve the health of school staff and students through IAQ management plans. This presentation will give suggestions for an IAQ tool kit, demonstrate aspects of a school IAQ inspection, and discuss how to engage schools and school districts to help them take better control of their buildings’ IAQ.
