Resumo(s)
The indoor air quality (IAQ) in classrooms is expected to play a key
role in the assessment of the effects of the children’s personal exposure to air
pollution since they spend on average 7–11 h per weekday at school. A
statistical treatment was conducted over a database of indoor air parameters and
the primary schools where these parameters were sampled (urban area of
Lisbon, Portugal). The aim of this study was to assess the associations between
indoor air parameters with the schools’ building characteristics, through the use
of statistical methods. Several associations were found and allow pointing out
from this study several recommendations to improve the classrooms IAQ. For
example, some factors such as ventilation, cleanings and chalk use instead
whiteboard pens, can reduce or increase specific contaminants inside the
classrooms.
