EDUCATION

Both teachers and students alike are anxious for schools to reopen and returning to in-person learning is a critical step in returning to normal life following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Common indoor air contaminants include dust, mold, cleaning supplies, building materials, bacteria, and viruses. Proper air purification will not just control the spread of the coronavirus, but studies have also shown that improved air quality is linked to increased productivity and learning.

Additionally, cleaner air can also help reduce absenteeism. Childhood asthma is a leading cause of chronic disease-related absenteeism in the United States, associated with over 10 million missed school days annually. While results may vary across each individual school, we are aware of two schools that installed ActivePure and saw positive improvements in their absenteeism data when compared to the pre-ActivePure period.

ActivePure recently received a letter from a PreK-8 principal who has ActivePure Technology installed. He said, "Anecdotally, reports of illness this year are down dramatically, and we have not had a single case of the flu or strep throat this year, which is a rarity, to say the least. Also, staff members' morale is high, as they perceive ActivePure Technology's air cleaners to be "doing their job". We have been fully in-person since August 20, 2020 with virtually no interruption, with a total of 10 positive COVID cases among our students and staff, and zero known transmissions in school."

ActivePure Technology has consistently proven its ability to control and neutralize contaminants such as viruses, bacteria, mold, fungi and VOCs in real-time. Independent studies conducted in a compliant labs have shown that ActivePure can reduce almost 100% (99.9999%) of surface and airborne contaminants within the first 24 hours and is recommended for use around humans, animals and plant life.
