Nationally representative data from the 2012 School Health Policies and Practices Study examined whether state assistance on indoor air quality (IAQ) was associated with district-level policies and practices related to IAQ and integrated pest management (IPM). Districts in states that provided assistance on IAQ were more likely than districts not in such states to (1) have an IAQ management program (p < .001); (2) require schools to conduct periodic inspections of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system (p < .05); of the building for cracks, leaks, or past water damage (p < .01); for mold (p < .01); for clutter that prevents effective cleaning and maintenance (p < .05); of the plumbing system (p < .01); and for condensation in and around school facilities (p < .001); (3) have an engine idling reduction program ( < .001); (4) have a policy to purchase low-emitting products (p < .05); and (5) require IPM strategies (p < .05). Increasing the number of states that provide IAQ-related assistance to school districts and schools may improve school IAQ.
2012年学校健康政策与实践研究的全国代表性数据，考察了州政府对室内空气质量（IAQ）的援助是否与学区层面有关室内空气质量和综合虫害管理（IPM）的政策及实践相关。获得州政府IAQ援助的州内学区，相比未获得此类援助的州内学区，更有可能：（1）拥有IAQ管理计划（p <.001）；（2）要求学校定期检查供暖、通风和空调系统（p <.05）；检查建筑物是否有裂缝、泄漏或过去的水损情况（p <.01）；检查是否有霉菌（p <.01）；检查是否有妨碍有效清洁和维护的杂物（p <.05）；检查管道系统（p <.01）；以及检查学校设施内部及周围是否有冷凝水（p <.001）；（3）拥有减少发动机空转计划（p <.001）；（4）有购买低排放产品的政策（p <.05）；以及（5）要求实施综合虫害管理策略（p <.05）。增加向学区和学校提供与IAQ相关援助的州的数量，可能会改善学校的室内空气质量。
