Abstract：
During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an increased reported use of chemical cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting products (CSDPs), which created public concerns about negative health consequences for both children and adults in public schools. A subset of newer teachers shared experiences regarding safety and health (S&H) while working in school-based settings through a series of online surveys. Surveys were provided to teachers who completed work-based learning supervisory trainings provided by the New Jersey Safe Schools Program between October 2021 and June 2023. The participants answered questions focusing on CSDPs purchased for school use, their attitudes towards CSDPs, their use of personal protective equipment, and symptoms employees may have had due to CSDPs. A total of 205 teacher participants successfully completed the surveys. Over 25% of the teachers did not know where their CSDPs originated from, as they were provided by the school. Most participants \"sometimes\", \"not often\", or \"never\" read labels for CSDP ingredients or looked them up on healthy product apps. The participants (60%) tended to wear gloves while cleaning/disinfecting but did not wear masks. A third of the participants experienced respiratory health problems after working at school. Overall, the data suggest that more education on S&H regarding CSDPs needs to be provided to New Jersey teachers.
摘要：
在COVID-19大流行期间，据报道，化学清洗的使用有所增加，消毒,和消毒产品(CSDP)，这引起了公众对公立学校儿童和成人的负面健康后果的关注。一部分新教师通过一系列在线调查在学校环境中工作时分享了有关安全和健康（S＆H）的经验。向在2021年10月至2023年6月之间完成由新泽西州安全学校计划提供的基于工作的学习监督培训的教师提供了调查。参与者回答了有关购买用于学校用途的CSDP的问题，他们对CSDP的态度，他们使用个人防护设备，以及员工可能因CSDP而出现的症状。共有205名教师参与者成功完成了调查。超过25%的教师不知道他们的CSDP来自哪里，因为它们是由学校提供的。大多数参与者“有时”，\"不经常\",或“从不”阅读CSDP成分的标签或在健康产品应用程序上查找它们。参与者（60％）倾向于在清洁/消毒时戴手套，但不戴口罩。三分之一的参与者在学校工作后经历了呼吸道健康问题。总的来说,数据表明，需要向新泽西州的教师提供更多有关CSDP的S＆H教育。
