Environmental Health Conditions in California's Portable Classrooms

This study of environmental health conditions in California's public school classrooms was prompted by concerns that California's schools, especially portable classrooms, might not provide health environments for students or teachers, based on the potential for mold contamination, inadequate ventilation, poor temperature control, elevated levels of volatile chemicals, & excessive use of some pesticides. This report to the California Legislature provides an overview of the study, summarizes conditions identified in the study that need to be addressed at the State & local levels, & discusses options for improving conditions in both portable & traditional classrooms.
