The Environmental Protection Agency ranks poor indoor air quality among the top five environmental risks to public health. Over half of the schools surveyed in the United States reported at least one environmental problem affecting indoor air quality. Problems include molds and toxic fungi; pesticides; volatile organic chemicals emitted from cleaning products, photocopiers, and classroom furnishings.
