To protect the health and future of our children, poor air quality in the classroom needs to be addressed. Bringing ventilation rates up to code with an adequate air purifier ensures the health and wellbeing of our school kids.
Studies conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) paint a grim picture when it comes to the amount of toxins, allergens and viruses school kids are exposed to on a daily basis. While indoor air in the average household can contain five times the pollutant levels of outdoor air, it’s far worse in our schools where it can be as much as 100 times.
Budget cuts, reduced janitorial staff, moisture infiltration and increased pollution all negatively impact the quality of air students breathe. A higher number of contaminants, viruses and bacteria builds up in the air over time. Most school buildings are older, they lack the proper ventilation to remove these toxins, particularly in winter months when windows remain closed.
Factors that contribute to poor air quality in the classroom include:
Viruses and Bacteria
Without proper air filtration, bacteria and viruses can spread and linger indoors, sometimes for hours at a time. The result is increased infection rate and more students missing school.
Indoor Air Pollutants
The presence of harmful chemicals can negatively impact indoor air quality. The off-gassing of cleaning products, carpeting and upholstery can contaminate the air. Outdated construction and insulation materials may also leak out toxins.
Infiltration of Outdoor Air Pollution
Outdoor air can seep into schools through open windows and doors. With it comes pollution such as car exhaust, carbon monoxide gas and fumes. Those pollutants can build up in the classroom contributing to poor indoor air quality.
Dampness and Mold
Leaks, water damage and excessive moisture are all common problems for aging schools. Water and moisture buildup can lead to mold, dust and other airborne contaminants. Mold has spores that may contain mycotoxins, which could be poisonous.
Allergens & Asthma Triggers
Schools often have a number of indoor allergens such as pollen, dust mites and pests lurking in the air which trigger allergy or asthma symptoms such as congestion, runny nose, sneezing, wheezing and watery eyes.
High Carbon Dioxide Levels
The higher the carbon dioxide levels, the lower the indoor air quality and the more at risk school children are for adverse effects. High CO2 levels in the classroom have been linked to increased absences, sick building syndrome and respiratory issues for younger children in daycare. To achieve good air quality, installing a system that filters and ventilates the air is essential.
