Big News for School Air: GO AQS Launches “GO IAQS for Schools”

At See The Air, we have spent years advocating for a fundamental truth: clean air is a human right, and our children deserve the absolute best protection where they spend most of their day—inside the classroom. That is why I am thrilled to share a massive milestone in global air advocacy. The Global Open Air Quality Standards (GO AQS) has officially launched GO IAQS for Schools, a groundbreaking strategic plan designed to transform educational environments from passive shelters into active, health-protective zones. For too long, policy regarding school air has relied on generic, "check-box" ventilation advice. GO AQS is changing the game by shifting the focus toward health-based performance metrics. The Vision: "Same Air, Same Standards" The core philosophy behind the GO IAQS for Schools initiative is beautifully simple: Same Air, Same Standards. Air pollution and airborne pathogens don't care about geography or economic status. This initiative aims for global adoption, ensuring that children in resource-limited settings are protected by the exact same high-performance metrics as those in the most developed economies.

"a strong cancer #policy is ultimately #preventive -- it tackles #carcinogenic factors such as unhealthy #food, toxic #environments, & unhealthy #lifestyles.. While #Thailand has made significant progress in #treatment, it has done little on #prevention.. as residents in northern provinces are suffocated by #PM25 #pollution, a majority of #lawmakers (led by Bhumjaithai) voted against the long-needed #cleanair #law, citing its #economic impact"🤔
