More than 53 million children and about 6 million adults spend a significant portion of their days in public and private school buildings. These school buildings may contain environmental conditions that inhibit learning and pose increased risks to the health of children and staff. EPA's Healthy School Environments Web site serves as a gateway to online resources to help facility managers, school administrators, architects, design engineers, school nurses, parents, teachers, and staff address environmental health issues in schools.
