Assessing associations between indoor environment and health symptoms in Romanian school children: an analysis of data from the SINPHONIE project.

School environment may have an impact on children's health, but few studies have focused on indoor comfort factors such as temperature, humidity, and noise in relation with potential effects on children's health. Our cross-sectional study used data from the European Schools Indoor Pollution and Health Observatory Network in Europe (SINPHONIE) project to assess children's allergy, asthma-like symptoms, and flu-like symptoms in relation with classroom comfort and environmental factors. The study used self-reported data from three questionnaires to identify classroom conditions and student health outcomes for 280 students.

Compared with a large number of studies on BPA, investigation on BPS has remained limited.
