Aircraft noise, overheating and poor air quality in classrooms in London primary schools
, 2012 The main source of ventilation in the majority of UK schools is windows. The occupants of the classroom (i.e. pupils and teachers) in noisy areas tend to shut windows especially during quiet activities (i.e. silent and lecturing activities) to reduce the
