1. iaq2000 description

Thomas Jefferson Middle School (TJMS,) Jefferson City, Missouri, USA and indoor air quality experts from all walks of life around the world, are partnering to create a global cyber IAQ village.  This village will work to keep our students safe from indoor air contaminants that compromise our
students' ability to learn and behave.

The iaq2000 list is intended to serve as a forum for questions, problems, and new technology with respect to Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) at school.  It is a forum where students as young as eleven will come together with teachers, staff, and administrators to help the schools improve their indoor air.

I will attempt to maintain a free and objective flow of information on this list.  However, please be warned that this is an advocacy list working towards recognition of the relationship between the environment inside the school building and the success of that school building's occupants.
