National Healthy Schools Day
is an important day for everyone to celebrate
and promote healthy and green school environments
for all children through the use of US Environmental
Protection Agency’s Indoor
Air Quality (IAQ) Tools for Schools (TfS)
Program.
Celebrated on Monday, April
26, 2010, National Healthy Schools Day is
coordinated by Healthy Schools Network in
collaboration with US EPA and the Council
of Educational Facility Planners – International
(CEFPI). It is the first day of School
Building Week.
The 2010 campaign will focus
on using certified green cleaning products
which help reduce pollutants from indoor air.
Did you know:
- 25% of chemicals in the cleaning products
used in schools are toxic and contribute
to poor indoor air quality, smog, cancer,
asthma, and other disease, and,
- that’s more than 450 contaminants
of air found in widely used products?
