CNN's Sanjay Gupta, MD, Spotlights Indoor Air Quality in Schools

Saturday, Sunday, Jan 14-15 on CNN! Plan to watch and record.

An estimated 14 million American children attend public schools that are in urgent need of extensive repair or replacement and have unhealthy environmental conditions, including poor air quality, unsafe drinking water and inadequate safety systems. This weekend, CNN will spotlight the dire condition of schools and the health hazards posed by poor indoor air quality.

The segment, which will air on Saturday and Sunday, follows CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta as he visits schools in Pennsylvania, New York, and Connecticut to examine the impact of indoor air quality on students and school employees.

Included in the piece are Winsted, CT, parents who pulled their kids from school because mold was making their children sick; former Fairfield, CT, teacher Joellen Lawson, with permanent lung damage and other health issues triggered by toxic air at her school, which was eventually torn down; Lily Eskelsen of the National Education Association; and Drue Miles, acting superintendent of Reading, PA, schools.

It is everyone's hope that the program will initiate actions to resolve school environmental health problems and inspire CNN to produce more programs focused on school environmental health issues in the future. A longer piece on indoor air will be part of CNN Presents this weekend:

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/health/2012/01/12/pkg-toxic-schools-national.cnn

CNN's Presents airs on Saturday, January 14 at 8 p.m., 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. Eastern Time, and is re-broadcast on Sunday, January 15 at 8 p.m., 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. Eastern Time.

    National Healthy Schools Day

    National Healthy Schools Day is an important day to promote and celebrate healthy school environments that are conducive to learning and protect occupant health. Schools, parents, personnel, advocates, and agencies unite nationwide to promote healthy and green school environments for all children.
    National Healthy Schools Day is the first day of School Building Week, April 27-May 1.
    WE HAVE EXTENDED THIS DATE THROUGH MAY 9TH TO ACCOMODATE MORE SCHOOLS.

    Issue Background

    In the US, there are approximately 54 million children and seven million adults (75% female) in the nation's 120,000 public and private schools.

    Recent peer-reviewed, published reports have found that healthy indoor environments can reduce asthma and upper respiratory infections among school children, as well as promote personnel health, safety and productivity, and improve achievement. Asthma is the leading cause of school absenteeism due to chronic illness and a leading occupational disease of custodians and teachers. Healthy indoor environments are also associated with improvements in children's learning and behavior, and therefore can yield even greater benefits and savings than energy efficiencies alone.

    EPA has estimated that up to half of all schools may have problems with indoor air quality; the GAO has reported that 25% of schools are structurally unsound.

    In collaboration with The Healthy Schools Network and others, greenschools is asking ALL schools to acknowledge this important day by reading the following announcement & highlighting their school's Green/Healthy initiatives on April 27th:
    PLEASE READ THIS STATEMENT:

    The _______ School believes it is important to provide our students and staff with an educational environment that is both Green & Healthy.

    We would like to take a moment to share some of out Green & Healthy initiatives with you. READ LIST & SHARE WITH YOUR COMMUNITY.

    *PLEASE DRAFT A LIST OF INITIATIVES AHEAD OF TIME, AND HAVE KEY STUDENTS/INDIVIDUALS READ THIS LIST.

    greenschools would be most appreciative if you would kindly send us a copy of your School's name, location, and initiatives so that we can share your work in our newsletter and on our website in hopes of inspiring positive change in other schools/communities.

    e-mail: info@projectgreenschools.org
    fax: 1-425-663-1757

    mail: greenschools

    We thank you in advance!
