Air quality around schools: Part I-A comprehensive literature review across high-income countries

Stephanie Osborne et al.

Summary: Children are particularly vulnerable to poor air quality, and recent initiatives in the UK have focused on reducing their exposure at school. A review of available evidence on air quality in school environments across high-income countries found that children can encounter pollution peaks on the school journey and around school gates, with nearby traffic being a key determinant of concentrations. Factors like playground paving and surrounding green space can influence school site concentrations, creating knowledge gaps that should be targeted in future research. Recommendations for policymakers include creating clean air zones around schools and promoting active travel to reduce children's exposure to air pollution.

Air quality around schools: Part II-Mapping PM2.5 concentrations and inequality analysis

Stephanie Osborne et al.

Summary: This study investigates the air pollution levels around schools in England and their association with socio-economic inequalities. It reveals that over a third of schools in England are located in areas with high levels of air pollutants, with more than 3.3 million students attending these schools. Schools with high air pollution levels tend to have higher proportions of students from low-income families and ethnic minority backgrounds, indicating the compounding effect of air pollution on existing socio-economic disadvantages among children.
