Outdoor air is the biggest driver of particles in #ClassroomAir. Closing windows doesn't always help but air filters can.

Particulate matter concentrations in UK schools: a nationwide study into the influence of ambient PM2.5 and the resulting exposure potentials SAMHE data reveals that PM2.5 concentrations in UK schools are heavily influenced by outdoor air quality.

Particulate matter levels in schools are closely linked to outdoor levels.

Children's exposure to #PM2_5 in school buildings, when levels are high outdoors, may contribute significantly to their total exposure.

High CO2 levels in the House of Commons today, good job we had our #SAMHE AirGradient monitor with us and knew to open the windows!
