Improving awareness of classroom air quality

Working with our Calderdale schools we have created classroom air quality boards to enable teachers and pupils to monitor and track CO2 levels, and to provide a focal point to support the development of air quality awareness

Why is it important to monitor CO2?

CO2 levels rise quickly in classrooms often exceeding the DfE guidance of 1500ppm (parts per million)

This can directly affect our school children, causing tiredness, lack of concentration and increases the risk of virus transmissions like Covid-19, flu and colds

What next - Particulate Matter

A study of classroom PM1/2.5/10 will start in the autumn 2022 term to monitor levels of airborne particulate matter and to identify solutions to create safer indoor environments for our school children
