Clean air is essential for a healthy learning environment, yet in many schools, indoor pollutant levels are higher than outdoors.

Read the American Lung Association's recommendations for schools to improve indoor air quality and better protect the health of students and staff:
Impact of Air Quality in Schools
Clean air in schools is an important part of creating a healthy learning environment, but levels of pollutants are often two to five times higher indoors than outdoors.

Indoor air pollution from wood stoves is often invisible, but it can have serious health consequences over time.

New research shows that even modern, EPA-certified wood stoves pollute indoor air with ultra small particles that enter the lungs and bloodstream.

This move to weaken vehicle mileage rules is another setback for clean air, and part of this admin's larger goal to rollback clean air regulations. Looser fuel standards mean more pollution in the air we breathe, especially in communities already burdened by environmental injustice.
