Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for good ventilation in classrooms to create safe learning environments, prompting authorities in Catalonia to monitor air quality in schools.
- A study across 23 schools in Catalonia over three periods measured carbon dioxide (CO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO) levels, revealing that some classrooms consistently exceeded safe CO limits, with high schools showing the highest concentrations.
- Findings indicated that smaller town schools had poorer ventilation compared to urban ones, and the study aims to inform strategies for improving indoor air quality in education facilities.
