With robust funding from congress, EPA can activate Biden’s languishing Clean Air in Schools challenge with expanded national outreach and technical assistance to states and schools and communities.
We strongly support CLEAN AIR IN SCHOOLS for all children on Earth Day and every day. Schools must have clean indoor air to keep children and staff healthy, reduce absenteeism, and to stay open longer when severe weather threatens.
The Coalition is also requesting an additional $10 million in funding for EPA’s Office of Children’s Health Protection to increase public health research and services for children’s environmental health.
Poor indoor environments in schools decrease seat time, attendance and test scores, and increase asthma and other health events, and thus increase health costs.
