CDC has a resource on ventilation in schools and child care facilities, which pulls information from across various CDC webpages to a centralized location. The resource covers five key strategies schools and child care programs can use to improve ventilation in their programs. Key strategies described in more detail include: 1) Bring in as much outdoor air as possible, 2) Ensure Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) settings are maximizing ventilation, 3) Filter and/or clean the air in your school or childcare program, 4) Use exhaust fans in restrooms and kitchens, and 5) Open windows in transportation vehicles.
Created in 2007 by the Pennsylvania Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL), The Pennsylvania Key implements the work and supports the policies developed and managed by OCDEL. Learn More. >
