REVIEW:
Healthy School Environments was developed as a "gateway to on-line
resources to help facility managers, school administrators, architects,
design engineers, school nurses, parents, teachers, and staff address
environmental health issues in schools." It is truly a one-stop
source of information and links that will answer all of your environmental
questions. Topics include everything from energy efficiency to indoor
and outdoor air quality to waste removal and water quality. The resources
on the site and linked to from the site cover the full range of sources,
having been developed by the EPA, other federal agencies, states and
local governments, and the private sector. Included are quick links
to EPA programs for schools, such as the Indoor Air Quality Tools
for Schools Kit, which can be ordered free of charge, and the program
Integrated Pest Management in Schools. |
