LC Number: KF26 .E6 2002t OCLC Number: (OCoLC)56722226 Subject: Indoor air pollution -- United States -- Prevention. Excerpt: ...that. Students in schools that rely primarily on daylighting perform up to 26 percent better on standardized test than their counterparts in poorly lit schools. Claire Barnett, with the Healthy Schools Network, will point out in her statement today that an estimated 17 million school days were lost in 1997 due to asthma.

Our first witness is Ramona Trovato. She is the Deputy Assistant Administrator of the Office of Environment, at the Environmental Protection Agency.
