For
eleven years parents, teachers, school
nurses, custodians,
advocates, and agencies have promoted
National Healthy Schools Day activities
nationwide. Whether you are at the beginning
stages of investigating school environments
or have an established Indoor Air/Environmental

National Healthy

Schools Network in cooperation with US
EPA and promotes the use of EPA's IAQ
Tools for Schools guidance as well
as other EPA environmental health guidelines
and programs for schools and children’s
health. |
