Why Clean Air in Classrooms is Necessary

Air purification is an investment in the health of students, as well as academic achievement!

 

Cognitive Impact of IAQ on Students

Researchers have found that young children exposed to particulate matter scored lower on IQ tests—losing as many as 2.63 IQ points on those exams for every two micrograms per cubic meter of pollution exposure.[1] Additionally, students in schools with poor IAQ tend to have lower attention, test scores, grades, and overall academic performance.[2] In fact, the benefits of running high-quality air purifiers is on par with reducing class size by 30%.[3]

Health Impact of IAQ on Students

Viral infections such as COVID-19, influenza, and RSV are common in schools with poor ventilation and can impact public health and education. Additionally, childhood asthma has been linked to exposure to indoor air pollution according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).[4] What’s more, even short-term exposure to small particulate matter pollution has been found to increase psychiatric-related emergency room visits for kids.[5]

Teachers Speak Out About Austin Air in Classrooms!

 

 

The Best Type of Air Purifier,

According to the EPA

 
According to an extensive review by the EPA, the most effective air purification technology is a combination of HEPA and activated carbon -- which is exactly what Austin Air uses. In fact, our purifiers use 60 square feet of true, medical-grade HEPA and up to 15 lbs. of activated carbon. That's more filter material than anyone else in the industry!

The "See Air Differently" School Assembly

 

"The adults are all complementing you guys for the assembly message. The content was extremely appropriate for our students and our community. I can’t thank you enough for what will be a once in a lifetime experience!"

-McCall Emerick, 6th grade science teacher at Acmetonia School in Chestwick, PA

 

When your school chooses Austin Air purifiers, you not only get high-quality, medical-grade HEPA and carbon air purification, but you also get a FREE virtual school assembly featuring medical doctors and professional athletes like Jordan Poyer, Griffin Jax, Zack Moss, and Heather Mitts to educate students on the importance of respiratory health. The assembly includes messaging about how to maintain healthy lungs, environmental pollutants, and the dangers of smoking and vaping. 
 
In this fun pre-recorded video, charismatic DJ Milk tackles a serious topic in a lighthearted and engaging way, and challenges middle and high school students to see air differently.

About Austin Air Systems

 

Austin Air Systems is the original maker of high-end air filtration systems. Sold in more than 100 countries, we maintain the largest air cleaner manufacturing facility in the world, assembling everything in-house in Buffalo, New York. We use technology recommended by the EPA and are a preferred source vendor through our partnership with New York State Industries for the Disabled, Inc. (NYSID). 


Austin Air is the ONLY air-cleaner company to partner with research organizations, such as Johns Hopkins University, to conduct clinical trials on our products. In government tests, Austin Air outperformed more than 100 other air purifiers. Because of this, FEMA and the American Red Cross chose Austin during some of America’s most challenging times, including 9-11, Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Sandy, and the 2015 SoCal gas leak in California.


The Medical Grade HEPA used in all Austin Air filters has been independently certified to remove 99.97% of particles. Product tests on flow and vapor, gas, and sub-micron particle removal have been performed by Battelle Laboratories, one of the world’s most respected testing laboratories for the Army Corp of Engineers at the U.S. Army Aberdeen Test Center.

The Most Common Sources of Airborne Pollutants In Schools

 

AirborneInSchools2-1024x553

 

1. CLASSROOMS

Classrooms have little or no ventilation, and so viruses and bacteria accumulate without a way to escape. Other airborne contaminants in the classroom include harmful chemicals and fumes from adhesives, paint, science experiments, and harsh cleaners.

 
 

2. FACULTY LOUNGE AREA

The faculty lounge, where teachers and staff spend time in close proximity, often eating without masks, means effective air filtration is a must.

 
 

3. LIBRARY & COMMON AREAS

Noxious fumes from printers and photocopiers, as well as dust, bacteria, and viruses, are common pollutants found in school libraries and common areas.

 
 

4. RESTROOMS

School restrooms are the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and odors. Effective air filtration helps remove odors and other airborne contaminants, creating a clean, safe space for students, teachers, and staff.

 
 

5. CAFETERIA

A busy cafeteria, where large groups of students and staff spend time together, eating without masks, can be a high-risk environment for the transmission of COVID-19 and other viruses. Other contaminants in the cafeteria include NO2 from gas appliances and chemicals and VOCs from cleaning products.

 
 

6. NURSE'S ROOM

Perhaps the most dangerous space in the school, without effective air filtration, is the nurse’s room. This is an extremely high-risk environment for viral and bacterial transmission.

 
 

7. POLLUTION FROM THE STREET

If your school is close to a busy road or the school parking lot, toxic emissions from the school bus and other vehicles can find their way indoors. Without effective air filtration, these chemicals and gases can have a serious impact on the health of students and staff.
