Improve air quality in classrooms
Children typically spend a significant amount of time in the classroom or nursery. During their school years, they are exposed to the air quality in this space, which has a significant impact on their health and learning performance. It is therefore crucial to purify the air in classrooms.
Find out how optimizing the air quality in classrooms can contribute to a better learning environment and children's well-being.
The need for air purification in classrooms
Children spend a lot of time in classrooms. Air in these classrooms that is not purified is also often unhealthy. This brings with it all kinds of negative consequences:
- Polluted air is associated with exposure to allergens, germs and pollutants. This increases the risk of respiratory diseases and allergies, and children get sick faster.
- Moreover, children's ability to concentrate and alertness decreases, resulting not only in decreased energy, but also in lower learning and performance during classes. In the long run, this can even lead to learning difficulties.
- Children's lungs are still developing and they breathe faster than adults, making them especially susceptible to the negative influences of air pollution. Especially if they also have additional respiratory conditions, such as asthma.
That's why it's best to be extra vigilant about air quality within classrooms.
The causes of classroom air pollution
Ozone & particulate matter
Unfiltered air contains substances such as fine dust and ozone. Fine dust can cause irritated airways, shortness of breath, and pneumonia. In extreme cases, fine dust can also lead to lung cancer, especially if the particles in the dust are carcinogenic.
Ozone (also known as smog) results in children who may experience a decrease in lung function, irritation to the eyes and it can cause coughing. If children are especially sensitive to it, they may also experience chest pain and shortness of breath.
Germs
In addition to air pollution, pathogens are also a concern. The air can contain bacteria such as those causing the flu and viruses like those causing colds or COVID-19. Especially in winter, children often bring viruses to school. With air purification, up to 99% fewer pathogens are present in the air.
Pollen
A final form of irritation for children at school are pollen. A lot of children suffer from hay fever. Those pollen are not only outside; they are also in the air inside. In fact, teachers open the window to ventilate the classroom, allowing pollen to enter the classroom.
Removing fine dust, viruses and pollen from the air with an air purifier
It goes without saying that particulate matter, germs and pollen should be purged from the air as thoroughly as possible. This can be most effectively achieved with the help of an air purifier specifically designed for classrooms. Thus, the harmful particles of air pollution are removed from the air, while at the same time sufficient fresh air is supplied.
Strengthen air quality in classrooms with Aeroconsult
Aeroconsult offers air purification systems to combat all forms of air pollution and dry air in school buildings and classrooms. Our air purifiers make the air less dry and much more pleasant to live in. Moreover, with our patented technology, you are fully protected against air pollution from pollen, toxic gases, bacteria, and viruses.
That technology can be placed loose without installation, or they can be built into the existing air conditioner or ventilation.
Ionization as an effective air cleaner for classrooms
Ionization is a very reliable technology for thoroughly cleaning classroom air.
Ionization involves ions. These are molecules that have lost or gained an electron, giving them a negative or positive charge and thus polarized. Aeroconsult offers the benefits of this ionization in your home.
The effect of our ionization systems can be compared to the effect of a powerful thunderstorm on air quality. During thunderstorms, negative ions are generated, which have a beneficial effect on air purity and the oxygen content of air molecules. Negative ions have also been shown to enhance the human body's ability to better absorb oxygen and reduce histamine production.
Ionization of indoor air with Aeroconsult
Aeroconsult's air purifiers produce billions of electrons per second, which convert into negative ions upon contact with oxygen molecules in the air. This electron production results in a concentration of over 250,000 negative ions per cm³, without any ozone production. Consequently, Aeroconsult is the first company to offer this product without negative side effects. The result is enriched air, completely free from dryness, viruses, bacteria, fine dust, or pollen.
