Unfortunately, we have had to cancel this event. We will return with a new date.

Children thrive best in a healthy indoor climate. But in many day care institutions there are unfortunately worrying levels of, among other things, harmful chemicals, particles and CO2. In addition, many also suffer from excessively high sound levels. This is shown by our latest survey of the indoor climate in 30 daycare centers in seven Danish municipalities

A bad indoor climate can have major consequences. The investigated chemicals can harm children's development and increase the risk of cancer. The ultrafine particles can increase the risk of developing asthma or worsen the symptoms, just as they contain cancer-causing chemicals. A high CO2 level can lead to more tired and restless children.

The project's results and recommendations will provide the country's municipalities and municipal politicians with the latest knowledge to rely on when they have to make important choices about indoor climate improvements in the local nurseries and kindergartens.

On 2 June, we will hold a closing meeting for the project, where we will present the results of the survey as well as a new guide that will help the municipalities with the good political process for a better indoor climate. Finally, we hold a panel debate.

The target group for the seminar is politicians, employees in the municipalities, advisers, indoor climate researchers and others with an interest in the area. 

The project was carried out in collaboration with the National Research Center for the Working Environment and Technological Institute, as well as a number of partners. The study is financed by the philanthropic association Realdania.
