Did you know that 95% of UK schools are located in areas where air pollution exceeds the World Health Organisation’s recommended limits? Or that indoor air quality can be up to five times worse than outdoor air?
These are just two of the powerful, research-backed facts featured on this impactful poster – a must-have resource for the staffroom.
This free, downloadable poster is designed to raise awareness among staff about the hidden dangers of indoor air pollution – a problem that’s especially critical in schools, where children spend an average of 90% of their time indoors.
With just an hour a day spent outdoors, young lungs are particularly vulnerable to airborne pollutants like dust, mould, pollen, fungal spores, carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and even viruses.
The poster clearly presents evidence that clean indoor air isn’t just about health; it also improves academic performance, cognitive function and attendance.
It highlights the vital role of good ventilation and filtration in reducing pathogens and supporting pupils with asthma – a condition that affects two to three children in every classroom.
Visually striking and packed with accessible facts, this poster is a useful tool for staff seeking to build understanding and support for improvements to air quality in schools, such as better ventilation or air purification systems.
