In this webinar studies from four different countries were presented to document and analyse the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in schools based on monitoring of various indoor environmental parameters, including PM and CO2. Schools represent crucial environments due to children's extended exposure and increased vulnerability to air pollution. Therefore, studying the school environment allows to develop evidence-based strategies to minimise exposure to indoor air pollution and enhance children’s health and well-being.
