"After the school was renovated, the children said that they had no spirit and they were uncomfortable when they came back." Recently, some students' parents reported that many students in Exhibition Road No.1 Primary School in Xicheng District were unwell and had dizziness, cough, nausea and listlessness, which was suspected to be related to the renovation of classrooms and playgrounds in the main campus. The school said that it has invited a third-party company to carry out environmental quality testing, and the test results meet the national standards.

Children's parents

The children in the school decoration are not feeling well.

"In the last half month, the child always said that he had a sore throat, dizziness and no spirit." Yesterday, a student's parents, who asked not to be named, said that the child was a student at the No.1 Primary School on Exhibition Road. He is usually lively and active, but recently he does the opposite. He wants to sleep as soon as he gets home.

The parent consulted between the parents' WeChat group and the parents he knew, only to find that many students had symptoms of respiratory discomfort, including dizziness, cough, rash and listlessness. "There may be 5 to 10 students in a class who are uncomfortable." She said.

According to several parents, during the summer vacation, the main campus of the school was renovated, including painting the interior and exterior walls of the teaching building. After school starts, there is a construction team in the school playground. The playground always smells pungent, and it is suspected that the child's physical discomfort is related to the school decoration.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon on the 27th, standing at the gate of the main campus of the school, you can see that the color of the campus teaching building is relatively new, and the playground is covered with a red plastic runway. Close to the school gate, you can smell the plastic in the air.

The reporter randomly consulted several students in the school. Most sixth-grade students said they didn't feel uncomfortable, and neither did their classmates. Several students below grade six replied, "Some students in the class have a rash on their faces." "Some students in the class feel sick every two days."

Environmental quality inspection is determined to be qualified.

According to parents, the school has recently started to put air purifiers in classrooms, but students still feel uncomfortable every day, and the school does not agree with practices that affect the teaching progress, such as collective holidays. The family planning commission invited a third-party agency to conduct quality inspection, but I have never seen it myself.

On the official website of the school, the reporter saw that the school published the latest indoor environmental quality test report of the teaching building, including formaldehyde, benzene, toluene and other items, and the results were up to standard, but most parents still questioned the test results.

The reporter called the school guidance office, and the staff said floor tiles, glass, playgrounds, etc. All the renovation of the main teaching building of the school began on July 3 this year and was completed on August 17. When school started on September 7th, parents saw the construction team, which was the last installation of floor glue and sound insulation board in the teachers' meeting room in the big classroom on the fourth floor.

Regarding the paint for decoration, she said that it was prepared by the Infrastructure Department of Xicheng District Education Bureau, and indoor testing was qualified, and the test results of experts invited by parents were also qualified. The outdoor plastic runway is also uniformly distributed by Xicheng District Education Bureau, and the manufacturer is qualified. The quality inspection was conducted by the supervision team hired by the Education Bureau before, and the results were also qualified.

"The plastic runway 11 was only completed, and it may still have a little taste, but it evaporated in half a month, and now it has no taste." The staff member said.

In addition, the guidance office said that according to the weekly statistics of the sixth grade, no students feel unwell, mainly the third grade students feel unwell, but this may have herd mentality. "As long as we ask together,' Who is sick?' Everyone replied that they were not feeling well. "

■ response

Xicheng District Education Committee passed legal procedures and materials.

In response to this matter, the staff of the Infrastructure Section of the Xicheng District Education Commission said that public schools are not allowed to find their own construction units. The construction of the first primary school on Huizhan Road is both legal in procedure and environmentally friendly in materials. There are inspection reports, supervision and re-inspection, and they are all following the procedure.

In addition, the staff said that the school's projects are special and will be transformed during the summer vacation. "Is built appoint has a time limit for a project. For example, if the project takes four months, it will take four months to complete the construction, and then it will take another month. However, it is a special construction period for the school. It doesn't take school time to vacate the school, it takes 4 months to construct, and students come back to class. "

Regarding the "problems" reflected by parents, the Board of Education indicated that all schools should provide the indoor air testing Report before the summer program is put into use.

"In terms of plastic venues, some standards may not be perfect. As long as the conversion is completed, there must be some volatile gases, which is the characteristic of the material itself, but there may not be too many standards for the detection of this odor. Some children may be more sensitive. " The staff member said.

In this regard, Wang, a researcher at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that if the runway has a pungent smell, it should be said that it is polluted. (Zuo Guang)
