The Health of Connecticut School Children, Educators and Staff Remains at Risk

  • In 2003, the Connecticut state legislature passed PA 03-220: An Act Concerning Indoor Air Quality in Schools, requiring all schools to adopt an indoor air quality program and report to the state periodically on its progress.
  • Nearly five years after this law was enacted, new cases of preventable building-related illnesses among children and adults continue to be reported in school communities across the state.
  • Physicians have linked the onset and exacerbation of asthma and other lung diseases as well as allergies and sinus infections to environmental conditions in school facilities that have poorly designed, operated and maintained heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
