Abstract(s)

Building renovations may yield emissions of various air chemicals that can disrupt normal human endocrine functions. However, only a few endocrine disruptive health outcomes (e.g., respiratory, behavioural, or learning domains) have been comprehensively addressed among susceptible populations, particularly schoolchildren. This project investigates the role of school building renovations on childrenís exposure to indoor Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) and the associated respiratory and cognitive health risks.
