Outline of Final Research Achievements

The data of accidents in schools were investigated with considering the meteorological data of relevant areas and the rate of air conditioners being placed in classrooms. While the occurrence rate of accidents in classrooms in the ward areas during summer period was decreased with the years during sample period, that in the urban districts was constant with the years. It was found that the difference in the rate of air conditioners being placed in classrooms might have an effect on the occurrence rate of accidents in the classrooms. Frequencies of heatstroke occurred at schools were investigated. The risk factors of heatstroke had a good correlation with WBGT. The air quality during winter period in schools located in metropolitan district was analyzed by using results of the environmental hygienic audit. The average values of CO2 concentration in classrooms of the secondary schools did not meet the standard of school environmental hygiene.
