14. ā¢ About 10% of neurobehavioral disorders are caused by environmental toxins (Tyler et al 2008).
ā¢ Indoor air is 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air (U.S. EPA, 2001).
ā¢ 200+ commonly used industrial chemicals cause brain damage (Grandjean and Landrigan 2006).
ā¢ Positive health impacts (reduction in prevalence of asthma, ļ¬u, headache and respiratory
symptoms) from improved indoor air quality (IAQ) in green schools range from nearly 14% to
87% improvements, with an average improvement of 41% (Kats 2006).
