Congressional interest in the health and safety of school children led to a request for the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) to assess the available data on hazards to children in schools in the United States. In this report, OTA identified the major hazards thought to pose a risk of illness in schools. Illnesses were limited to those arising from environmental hazards, which were grouped in this report as school materials and indoor air. Few data have been collected on any of these hazards in school. OTA could not identify a functional national reporting system for environmental •hazards in schools. The absence of studies documenting in-school illnesses or exposure in school presents fundamental gaps in the data needed to assess risks nationwide. |
