New Camfil Guide Addresses Challenges for Achieving Healthy Indoor Air Quality in K-12 Schools
Camfil's guide offers solutions to improve K-12 schools' indoor air quality, tackling health challenges for safer learning environments.
Indoor air quality (IAQ) profoundly affects the well-being, academic achievement, and attendance records of students in K-12 schools. Optimal IAQ boosts cognitive function, productivity, attendance, and overall health. Conversely, inadequate IAQ can promote the transmission of contagious illnesses through airborne respiratory droplets and aerosols.
In a new web resource, air quality specialists from global air filter manufacturer Camfil identify some of the most common challenges schools face in improving indoor air quality, and provide actionable strategies for overcoming them in preparation for the 2024-2025 academic year. Camfil is a leading producer of premium air filtration technology across the world, providing cutting-edge air quality solutions to hospitals, schools, office buildings, and more.
“Improving the air quality in K–12 schools relies heavily on proper ventilation and air filtration,” says Mark Davidson, Manager of Marketing and Technical Materials at Camfil, “The HVAC system plays the critical role in conditioning the air by heating or cooling, controlling for humidity and of course, removing harmful particles and gases. Effective ventilation strategies introduce fresh air and remove polluted indoor air, while air filters clean the air within HVAC and air purification systems by allowing clean air to pass through while trapping pollutants.”
