“…multi-pollutant assessment to thoroughly characterize IAQ in schools, which would improve understanding of the children's exposure to indoor air pollutants and the most effective means to reduce these exposures. Such studies have also been useful in terms of developing strategies (such as source control) for preventing adverse health consequences for children in schools [41,42].…”

“…These symptoms arise associated with the residence time of an individual inside the building, but no pathology or effect can be identified. Symptoms such as headache; dizziness; nausea; apathy; somnolence; tiredness and/or weakness; among others, depend on the concentration and exposure to short or long term to a given pollutant (Marques, 2013), (Brickus, & Neto, 1999); (Madureira et al, 2015). The IAQ is directly related to the ventilation conditions in buildings.…”

“…In terms of health effects, PM as well as VOCs pollutants could affect the respiratory system, which is the principal route of entry for air pollutants that are further exacerbated in the children or elderly [11,30]. Even in low concentrations, the presence of PM and VOCs indoors can lead to significant impacts on the respiratory health of children or susceptible individuals, such as those with low lung function, asthma and bronchitis [12].…”
