| description | Indoor air quality (radon, pollution, thermal fatigue, ventilation) is crucial for health and performance, especially for children. It is necessary to increase public awareness about the significance of air quality, particularly radon. Environmental school networks can enhance public awareness and provide research opportunities for scientists. SINDAIR, a school network based on SIMA-AEP, provides a flexible platform for larger scale educational and research projects. SINDAIR is in its pilot phase, involving various schools around Greece. With the assistance of UniWA, SINDAIR has started a pilot radon measuring campaign. Preliminary results show increased radon concentrations in certain school rooms, higher than expected, justifying further radon risk and air quality assessment, management, and perception programs. |
