孩子们大部分时间都在室内度过，其中很大一部分时间在学校环境中度过。空气污染已被证明会对肺部发育产生不利影响，其影响超出了呼吸系统健康。本研究的目的是评估公立学校的室内环境，在正在进行的城市改造计划的背景下，调查学校建筑改造和更换对室内空气质量的影响。2015年12月至2020年3月，在29所城市公立学校的秋季，冬季和春季对室内空气质量（CO2，PM2.5，CO和温度）进行了为期两周的评估。7所学校有翻修前后的数据。线性混合模型被用来检查空气质量结果的变化，在七所学校的装修状态与装修前和装修后的数据。在翻新之前，室内CO测量值符合世界卫生组织（WHO）的指导方针，室内PM2.5测量值很少超过这些标准。在七所拥有翻新前后数据的学校中，超过30%的室内CO2测量值和超过50%的室内温度超过了美国供暖、制冷和空调工程师协会推荐的指导方针。装修后，10%的室内CO2测量值和28%的室内温度超出了推荐范围。线性混合模型显示，CO2，室内PM2.5和CO显着改善学校装修后。即使在基本符合关键准则建议的学校中，学校装修也改善了室内空气质量。我们的研究结果表明，通过改善室内环境，学校翻新可能会使儿童社区受益，特别是那些学校基础设施老化的低收入地区的儿童。
Children spend the majority of their time indoors, and a substantial portion of this time in the school environment. Air pollution has been shown to adversely impact lung development and has effects that extend beyond respiratory health. The goal of this study was to evaluate the indoor environment in public schools in the context of an ongoing urban renovation program to investigate the impact of school building renovation and replacement on indoor air quality. Indoor air quality (CO2, PM2.5, CO, and temperature) was assessed for two weeks during fall, winter, and spring seasons in 29 urban public schools between December 2015 and March 2020. Seven schools had pre- and post-renovation data available. Linear mixed models were used to examine changes in air quality outcomes by renovation status in the seven schools with pre- and post-renovation data. Prior to renovation, indoor CO measurements were within World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines, and indoor PM2.5 measurements rarely exceeded them. Within the seven schools with pre- and post-renovation data, over 30% of indoor CO2 measurements and over 50% of indoor temperatures exceeded recommended guidelines from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers. Following renovation, 10% of indoor CO2 measurements and 28% of indoor temperatures fell outside of the recommended ranges. Linear mixed models showed significant improvement in CO2, indoor PM2.5, and CO following school renovation. Even among schools that generally met recommendations on key guidelines, school renovation improved the indoor air quality. Our findings suggest that school renovation may benefit communities of children, particularly those in low-income areas with aging school infrastructure, through improvements in the indoor environment.
