UK schools are being encouraged to take part in an indoor air quality study.
The Schools Air Quality for Health and Education project (SAMHE) – led by SEI York and Imperial College London – is looking for up to 2,000 schools to get involved.
Schools will receive free air quality monitors which will measure CO2, total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs), particulate matter and relative humidity.
The data gathered by these monitors will feed into a web app co-designed with schools, with the data accessible by the project’s scientists as well as teachers and pupils.
SAMHE stands for Schools’ Air quality Monitoring for Health and Education and aims to generate “an unparalleled dataset” to help researchers better understand indoor air quality in schools.
