The median CO2 concentration was measured to be >1000 ppm in all seasons/schools. Temperature and RH fell out of the comfort zone in October-December, during which pollutant concentrations were considerably increased, specifically in November, that heading and dust transport periods coincide. Overall mean indoor PM10 and PM2.5 levels were 58 and 31.8 ug/m^3, respectively. Risk assessment indicate that both short (incidence of asthma symptoms in asthmatic children) and long-term (prevalence of bronchitis) effects are considerable with 10.9 (2.4 - 19.6)% and 19.5 (2.2 - 38.8)% respectively.
