Sometimes the cause of headaches or eye irritation, it has been the subject of a decree, applicable from 2018 in certain establishments.   <\/p>\n\n<p>Here we take a look at <strong>the regulations<\/strong> and <strong>pollution control devices<\/strong> for a classroom.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Classroom air quality: regulations<\/h2>\n\n<p>It was in 2013 that the Ministries of Health and the Environment took up the problem of pollution in public spaces. They launched an action plan appended to the National Environmental Health Plan.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Establishments concerned<\/h3>\n\n<p>Articles L. 221-8 and R. 221-30 of the French Environment Code stipulate that <strong>indoor air quality monitoring<\/strong> must cover :  <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Childcare facilities for children under 6, such as cr\u00e8ches and day nurseries;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All primary and secondary schools;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leisure centers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implementation date<\/h3>\n\n<p>Decree no. 2015-1000 of August 17, 2015 thus introduces <strong>air quality monitoring in classrooms<\/strong> as of January :  <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2018 for all elementary school and nurseries;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2020 for leisure centers, middle schools and <a href=\"https:\/\/obera.fr\/conseils\/un-lycee-nous-fait-confiance\/\">high schools<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>For all other institutions open to the public, the compliance date is January 1, 2023.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Air quality in schools: monitoring<\/h2>\n\n<p>In accordance with the law, the <strong>air quality monitoring system in a classroom<\/strong> comprises 2 components:  <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An audit of ventilation systems;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A pollutant measurement campaign.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>This includes checking that the<strong> air circulation system<\/strong> is accessible.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aeration evaluation<\/h3>\n\n<p>The diagnostic section assesses how a classroom is ventilated.
