The Toxic Schoolhouse examines chemical hazards endangering students, teachers, and staff across education systems in the United States and Canada. This collection brings together articles on critical environmental health issues in schools, with content drawn from New Solutions: A Journal of Occupational and Environmental Policy, updated and expanded with new contributions.
