Quiz The Dutch Community Health Services of Groningen has recently investigated the quality of the indoor air at secondary schools. This research shows that levels of carbon dioxide concentrations were classified as unacceptable in ….% of the classrooms of secondary schools A:>35% B:>55% C:>75% D:>95%
Current situation Research shows that environmental conditions in classrooms: are far from optimal in some cases even unhealthy affect the performance of teachers and students negatively Wargocki & Wyon, 2017; De Gids, 2007; Shaughnessy et al., 2006; Tiesler & Oberdörster, 2006; EPA, n.d; GGD, 2009 References Wargocki, P.
