  • The Air Isn’t Fair

    The Air Isn’t Fair

    The chants of “I can’t breathe” have faded from our streets, but there are many who still suffer from polluted air in our communities, homes, and schools.

    Cool Green Schools is creating a network of air quality monitoring at schools across different communities in Maryland. We are offering over 200 air quality monitors to schools so their students can study the indoor and outdoor air quality at their schools.

    We don’t stop there. We help students to identify and reduce asthma triggers, how to build low-cost air filters, and how to benchmark the environmental conditions at their schools and homes.

    Why is this important?

    The health of our students doesn’t start or end at our school doors. When our students learn to identify and reduce asthma triggers at school, they can create healthier conditions as their schools and apply these skills to their homes, where they spend even more of their time.

    What can we gain?

    Students will learn to study and improve their environments with professional tools and scientific methods.

    We expect to lower asthma-related absences and improve student performance.

    Our network of monitors will give us a much better understanding of air quality in different neighborhoods and schools.
