Safe Indoor Air For Oregon Schools (SIAFOS) is a vibrant science communication and citizen science organization focused on improving indoor air quality in Oregon’s K–12 schools. Through hands-on learning, community collaboration, and clear, accessible information, we help schools, school districts, and families better understand and improve the air students and staff breathe every day.
At present, we are focused on Portland Public Schools. Join us here to work on improving indoor air quality in PPS.
