概括

波士顿公立学校 (BPS) 在COVID-19期间投资于空气质量监测,而不是改善通风. 这一决定未能解决空气质量差的问题,损害了学生和教职员工,特别是在服务不足的社区.

科学领域:

环境健康环境健康
公共卫生政策公共卫生政策
教育基础设施教育基础设施

背景情况:

波士顿公立学校 (BPS) 面临着先前存在的重大基础设施挑战,包括不充分的通风,由COVID-19大流行加剧.
几十年来,学校基础设施投资不足造成了不健康的学习环境,特别影响了弱势学生群体.
疫情凸显了学校改善室内空气质量的迫切需要.

研究的目的:

分析BPS对其老龄化学校基础设施中的流行病相关健康问题的反应.
评估投资于空气质量监测与直接基础设施改进的有效性.
检查基础设施缺陷和政策选择对学生和工作人员健康的影响.

主要方法:

对BPS的基础设施状况和历史投资进行描述性分析.
评估与流行病相关的健康投资有关的决策过程.
对空气质量监测与基础设施升级结果的评估.

主要成果:

BPS投资了一个空气质量监测系统,该系统证实了已知的通风不良问题.
监控系统没有导致纠正现有的或新的通风问题.
这种方法未能改善学生和工作人员的健康状况,不成比例地影响了低收入的黑人和棕色家庭.

结论:

专注于评估 (空气质量监测) 而没有实施纠正措施 (通风改进) 是无效的.
基础设施不足和BPS的维护延迟会对健康造成不利影响.
政策决策必须优先考虑有形的基础设施改进,以确保安全和健康的学校环境.

Measurement of Air Content in Concrete

Measurement of Air Content in Concrete

Air content measurement in concrete is critical for ensuring structural integrity and durability of concrete structures, especially in environments prone to severe weather conditions. Accurate air content analysis optimizes concrete's resistance to freeze-thaw cycles and enhances its workability and strength. Several methods are standardized under ASTM guidelines to measure the air content in fresh concrete, each suitable for different concrete types and conditions.
The pressure method,...

Controls in Experiments

Controls in Experiments

When conducting an experiment, it is crucial to have control to reduce bias and accurately measure the dependent variables. It also marks the results more reliable. Controls are elements in an experiment that have the same characteristics as the treatment groups but are not affected by the independent variable. By sorting these data into control and experimental conditions, the relationship between the dependent and independent variables can be drawn. A randomized experiment always includes a...

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...
