ELI’s Indoor Air Quality in Schools

This webpage includes a full suite of state-policy research focused on improving indoor air quality (IAQ) in PreK-12 schools. It explains why statewide frameworks are needed to supplement district-level efforts, then links to regularly updated products—including the Database of State Indoor Air Quality Laws (searchable through 2023), comparative charts on ventilation, green cleaning, radon and mold rules, and 2023 briefs reviewing state funding mechanisms for HVAC upgrades and high-efficiency filtration. Quick-read policy snapshots show model statutory language, while in-depth reports analyse liability exposures and energy-efficiency retrofits that preserve IAQ. All documents are free, referenced, and formatted for legislators, education agencies, advocates and facilities officers who must craft or refine mandates, budgets and compliance programs. By centralising proven policy strategies and real-world examples, the hub helps states narrow disparities between affluent and under-resourced districts and protect student health, attendance and academic outcomes.
