Monitoring Indoor Air Quality for Schools
Poor indoor air quality in schools can affect student health, attendance, and performance. At K12itc, we assist school leaders in monitoring indoor air quality with reliable solutions such as Verkada’s air quality sensors. These sensors not only track pollutants and CO₂ but also help schools detect vaping in hallways, restrooms, and other high-risk areas.
Why Indoor Air Quality in Schools Matters
Healthy air helps reduce asthma, allergies, and illness-related absences. But many classrooms still face poor ventilation and hidden air pollutants, like high levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂).
When CO₂ builds up, students and teachers can feel tired, lose focus, and experience headaches directly impacting learning and productivity. Likewise, hidden vaping can expose students to harmful chemicals and create unsafe environments.
