The relationship between CO2 levels in classrooms and children’s learning
Since 2013, approximately 20 studies have been published on the link between CO2 concentrations in classrooms and children’s cognitive and academic performance, nearly three-quarters of which were individual articles (n=16). The results of these studies generally support the idea that air exchange has a positive effect on children’s learning. Nevertheless, only a small number (n=4/16) were deemed to be of generally satisfactory quality, and none of them were considered applicable to the French context. Currently, the available data are therefore insufficient to establish a concentration-risk relationship that would allow for the application of a quantitative health impact assessment (QHIA). These data nevertheless provide further evidence of the importance of improving air exchange in schools.
