This report is an interdisciplinary literature review, drawing from a variety of scholarly and professional data and research to present a complete view of the impacts of school facilities on students. The academic studies drawn on include medical, psychological, educational, and environmental research. The authors also drew on professional standards (for example, of the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers or ASHRAE) to delineate what levels of exposure to various hazards is safe.

The bibliography is not included in the report itself. According to the last page of the report, it is supposed to be accessible online but I was not able to find it.
