“Children & adolescents spend up to half of their waking hours in school, where indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air. Poor IAQ…linked to increased illness, asthma attacks, absenteeism & even decreased academic performance.” www.prnewswire.com/news-release...

“On a smoky day, when AQI levels reach 100 to 200, ‘the exposure to the fine particulate matter, the air pollution, is similar to smoking a quarter to half a pack a day.’” Dr May-Lin Wilgus - pulmonologist and professor at UCLA www.npr.org/2025/08/04/n...
