But a research collaborative, of which I’m a member, has found that schools might not be ready to protect students from environmental contaminants.

Key Points: 
  • But a research collaborative, of which I’m a member, has found that schools might not be ready to protect students from environmental contaminants.
  • Environmental health standards can help a school community ensure each potential hazard is accounted for.

Air, water and food quality

    • Understanding and controlling common pollutants indoors can improve the indoor air quality and reduce the risk of health concerns.
    • It may seem like maintaining proper food safety and drinking-water quality would be common practices.
    • But many schools do have some level of lead contamination in their food and water.
    • To combat contamination and ensure safe food and water, the Food and Drug Administration overhauled the Food Safety Modernization Act in 2016.

Integrated pest management

    • Many schools have insect infestations, and many combat these pest problems with harsh chemicals when there’s a simpler solution.
    • Integrated pest management is an environmentally sensitive approach to pest management.
    • IPM programs consider the pests’ life cycles and their larger environment, as well as all the available pest control methods, to manage pest infestations economically and scientifically.

Green cleaning

    • School administrators also determine what products to use for pest control and cleaning.
    • Green cleaning uses safer – or less harsh – chemical and pesticide products, since studies have found that the repeated use of harsh chemicals indoors can lead to chronic health effects later in life for anyone directly exposed.
    • Schools need a plan to manage their pollutants long term – these pollutants might be cleaning chemicals and pesticides or chemicals used in science classes.
    • When the school building is safe, students and educators are more able to get down to the business of learning, undistracted.
