Specific Aims — University of Washington (UW) Healthy Air, Healthy Schools Project
Increasing evidence has highlighted outdoor impacts of ultrafine particles on communities living
in proximity to aircraft descent paths, both within the United States and internationally. The
recently completed MOV-UP study in Washington State identified a clear, aircraft associated
footprint of ultrafine particles associated with aircraft activities. Elevated concentrations of
ultrafine particles have been consistently observed in Boston, Los Angeles and other
international airport locations including London, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and Frankfurt.
Evidence is emerging that exposure to aircraft emissions is associated with negative health
impacts. A recent 10-year retrospective population -based study in Los Angeles found a
significant increase of pre -term births in women exposed to aircraft related pollution during
gestation, and this effect was found to be independent of the effect of roadway traffic pollution.
This as well as previous work demonstrating short-term increases in inflammation in adults
exposed to community air pollution in aircraft impacted locations demonstrates the need to
implement measures to increase resilience in communities.
Resiliency in a community is improved when vulnerable members are provided with interventions
designed to mitigate or remove their sources of exposure. In partnership with MOV-UP advisory
board members, researchers at the University of Washington identified school children as
particularly vulnerable to indoor exposures to ultrafine particles from aircraft sources. Currently,
it is not well understood how ultrafine particles from aircraft sources may infiltrate into indoor
environments. Experimental and theoretical simulations of particle movement suggest a wide
range of possible infiltration factors from 10-70% infiltration into indoor spaces. Important
determining variables include: a) building type; b) ventilation system parameters, including
central vs. local units, filter type and manufacturer as well; and, c) building management
strategies.
Existing literature supports that in -class performance of students is directly impacted by the air
quality within the classroom environment. In Los Angeles, researchers studied how changes in
ambient air pollution concentrations affected the performance of second through sixth grade
students on standardized tests between 2002-2008. Comparisons were made between different
cohorts within the same school, to minimize confounder. Researchers found that a lower
concentrations of outdoor particulate matter significantly increased mathematics and reading test
scores. Similar associations between testing scores and short-term air pollution concentrations
have been observed nationally and internationally.
The impact of interventions to remove air pollutants in indoor spaces is more limited. A
researcher in Texas examined the impact of rolling IAQ improvements at nearly every school in
a single school district. This quasi -natural experiment indicated that student performance on
standardized tests significantly improved following improvements in IAQ. Rough calculations
suggest that IAQ-renovations may be a more cost-effective way to improve standardized test
scores than class size reductions. Similarly, preliminary results from another quasi -natural
experiment in California, where HEPA air filters were installed in every classroom, office and
common area for all schools within five (5) miles of a potential gas leak (but not beyond) found
Interlocal Agreement —Air Quality Study
December, 2020 — Page 4 of 5
that air filter exposure led to a 0.20 standard deviation increase in mathematics and English
scores, with test score improvements persisting into the following year.
This project aims to test the feasibility, in two phases, to demonstrate the effectiveness and measure
the impact of intervening within a school environment to reduce exposures to airborne particles
of outdoor and indoor origin. Our specific aims are to:
Phase 1 ($50,000 + overhead):
Aim 1: Identify the filtration efficiency of current air handling approaches in a selection of
five (5) schools North and South of the airport.
a. Determine the size resolved ratio of indoor to outdoor particles in selected
unoccupied classrooms
b. Quantify the current ability of ventilation solutions to remove indoor generated
particles (half-life). Do current air quality handling systems adequately remove particles
that might contain COVID-19 particles?
C. Describe the current air exchange rate (AER) of existing filtration systems under
different MERV rating filters.
d. Based on the experimental measures, describe the infiltration capacity of:
1) ultrafine particles of aircraft origin; 2) ultrafine particles of traffic origin; and;
3) wildfire smoke.
Phase 2 ($250,000 + overhead):
Aim 2: Intervene in selected schools North and South of the airport by increasing within
classroom particle filtration capacity.
a. Randomize classrooms to receive an IAQ intervention, based on testingresults
from Aim 1.
b. Measure IAQ impacts of intervention under different aircraft flow conditions.
Aim 3: Observe medium -term impacts on students receiving IAQ interventions.
a. Quantify impact of IAQ intervention on school absenteeism.
b. Quantify impact of IAQ intervention on quarterly student achievement scores.
This project is designed to provide guidance and recommendations to communities impacted by a
variety of outdoor air pollution sources to increase resilience within a school setting by identifying
impactful interventions, testing deployment, and measuring impact. We expect that the
intervention proposed to reduce indoor exposures to outdoor pollutants associated with aircraft
traffic will also be effective in reducing exposures to wildfire smoke and roadway traffic. The
methods developed will also explicitly test the effectiveness of the filtration strategy in reducing
indoor generated particles, potentially decreasing the risk of COVID-19 transmission within
classroom settings.
