| Popis: | Two independent field intervention experiments involving a total of about 190 pupils were carried out in winter and early spring of 2005 in five pairs of mechanically ventilated classrooms that received 100% outdoor air. Each pair of classrooms was located in a different school. Electrostatic air cleaners were installed in classrooms and either operated or disabled to modify particle concentrations while the performance of schoolwork was measured. In one school, the used supply-air filters in a ventilation system without recirculation were also replaced with new ones to modify classroom air quality, while the filters in use in other schools were not changed. The conditions were established for one week at a time in a blind crossover design with repeated measures on ten-to-twelve-year-old children. Pupils performed six exercises exemplifying different aspects of schoolwork as part of normal lessons and indicated their environmental perceptions and the intensity of any symptoms. A sensory panel of adults ju... |
