Imagine a classroom brimming with energy, where students are alert and engaged, teachers feel invigorated, and sick days are rare. This isn’t a far-off dream—it’s the transformative potential of clean air. As schools across the U.S. and Canada wind down for the academic year, there’s a growing understanding that prioritizing indoor air quality is crucial for a healthy and productive learning environment.
This summer, take the critical step of installing air purifiers and ensure a clean and healthy start to the fall semester for students and teachers alike.
The Advantages of Clean Air
Research from leading institutions such as the University of Colorado Boulder and Boston University, shows that clean air is about far more than just physical health—it directly impacts academic success and the overall well-being of the entire school community.
Everyone Benefits
- Fewer Sick Days, More Learning
Clean air means fewer germs, allergens, bacteria, and viruses circulating in classrooms. This translates to healthier students and staff, and research has linked this directly to reduced absenteeism. The CDC-funded study in Colorado aims to demonstrate how improved air quality reduces the presence of viruses such as SARS-CoV-2, influenza, and RSV. Less time lost to illness means more time dedicated to teaching and learning.
- Sharper Minds for Student & Teacher
Studies, including those by BU researcher Patricia Fabian, have found fascinating links between clean air and cognitive function. Students’ brains work better when they’re not battling pollutants. The results? Enhanced concentration improved academic performance (particularly in math and reading), and increased engagement in classroom activities. Teachers also experience these benefits, leading to more effective lesson delivery and greater focus on educational outcomes, rather than managing health-related issues.
- A Breath of Fresh Air for Everyone
Beyond the tangible academic benefits, clean air creates a more pleasant and productive learning environment. When air purifiers help maintain comfortable temperature and humidity levels, classrooms become more inviting spaces for both students and teachers. This translates to a more positive school culture, increased job satisfaction among educators, and a happier, healthier learning experience for all.
Air Purifiers Are a Smart Investment in Your School’s Future
Installing air purifiers in your school is one of the most effective ways to create a healthier learning environment. Here’s how to get started:
- Assess Your Needs
Before choosing air purifiers, it’s essential to evaluate your school’s specific needs. Consider the size of your classrooms, the number of occupants, and any existing ventilation systems in place. You can use air quality monitors or consult with indoor air quality professionals to get a clear picture.
- Choose Wisely
Look for air purifiers specifically designed for educational settings. Prioritize features such as HEPA filters (which capture over 99.97% of airborne particles), quiet operation to minimize classroom disruption, and energy efficiency to reduce costs.
- Seamless Installation
Summer break is the perfect time to install air purifiers! Collaborate with your maintenance staff to ensure a seamless integration with your existing systems and minimize disruptions to the school year.
- Educate Your School Community
Share the benefits of clean air with teachers, staff, and parents. When everyone understands the positive impact, they’ll be more likely to embrace and support these initiatives.
