Asthma remains one of the most prevalent chronic conditions among children in the United States, affecting millions of students and contributing to missed school days and academic setbacks. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in its Managing Asthma in the School Environment guide, stresses the importance of controlling environmental triggers to support students’ health and success.
To help schools and universities across Puerto Rico tackle this critical issue, Zimmetry Environmental offers comprehensive indoor air quality (IAQ) testing, monitoring and consulting services.
“Each day, one in five Americans enters a school building, according to the EPA,” said Harry Pena , President of Zimmetry Environmental. “With people spending up to 90% of their time indoors, indoor air quality, especially in educational settings, is essential to managing asthma effectively. Poor IAQ can lead to missed school days and long-term academic challenges for students. That’s why proactive air quality programs are so important.”
Common asthma triggers in school environments include –
- Cockroaches, rodents and other pests
- Mould due to moisture problems
- Pet dander (from classroom animals or brought from home)
- Secondhand smoke and dust mites
- Chemical fumes from cleaning products and unvented appliances
- Outdoor pollutants like ozone, particulate matter (PM) and vehicle exhaust
Zimmetry offers school administrators services such as HVAC system evaluations, moisture and mold assessments, and full facility inspections tailored to meet the specific needs of educational institutions. Their expert team helps schools implement actionable solutions to create healthier, asthma-friendly environments.
