For example, organizations such as Föreningen Unga Allergiker i Sverige dispute this and they have plenty of arguments that are difficult to defend against. Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) is not something that can be talked away when looking at students' development and ability to absorb knowledge in the school environment.
Even a moderately poor IAQ causes all sorts of illnesses and infections that result in subsequent sick days for both students and staff. But it does not stop at this obvious problem.
Even a moderately degraded IAQ can cause all kinds of diseases and helps spread infections that result in sick days for both students and staff. But there are things that go beyond that obvious problem.
Further research shows that indoor air quality also has a direct impact on individuals' ability to learn. For example, a study from Barcelona shows how traffic pollution affects school children and that children who spend their school days in areas with clean air have more than 50% better cognitive development over a school year, compared to children in areas with heavy traffic.
Studies also show how poor indoor air quality reduces students' ability to succeed in specific tasks requiring concentration, calculation and memory. A growing body of research also indicates that poor indoor air quality can cause verbal, perceptual, motor and behavioral disabilities in children.
The younger children are, the more vulnerable they are to harmful and irritating particles such as pollutants, allergens, chemicals and ultrafine particles. The development of the lungs is of course directly affected by the level of air pollution they are exposed to. High exposure during the developmental years has been associated with reduced lung capacity throughout life, while there are increasing reports that it also drives the development of asthma.
Fortunately, there are tailor-made offers, backed by scientific evidence, to meet all the challenges of school air quality and reduce the problems in our classrooms. The invisible problem simply has clear and concrete solutions.
We are facing a tough virus autumn and flu winter with an increased spread of infection in offices and classrooms. Lessons from the pandemic years should be drawn, including the possibility of adding technology as one of the layers of protection in the fight against viruses and influenza.

The metal industry has always been extremely important to the Swedish economy, but often with processes that generate unhealthy particles. Read more about the challenges and five actions you can consider.
