Recent studies show that Improved air quality in classrooms has demonstrated an increase in test scores by 14%, increase attendance by 11% (classrooms with better air quality yield fewer sick days), and a 20% increase in attention span longevity.
SPAR is comprised of woven, knit, or non-woven structures where nonconductive yarns combine with conductive yarns that serve as electrodes. When a voltage is applied to these conducting yarns, a non-thermal plasma (NTP) is produced.
While we manage IAQ to decrease exposure to airborne pathogens, such as SARS-CoV-2, we need to be extremely careful to avoid IAQ management that has the unintended consequence of suppressing our immune system, making us more vulnerable to infections, inflammatory diseases, and cancer.
Fellowes, in partnership with We Are Teachers, has released the results of their second annual national survey regarding air quality in North American K-12 education.
Recognizing the direct correlation between clean air and academic success means implementing an effective IAQ plan becomes an ethical imperative for schools.
At the present time, many people are unaware of the health significance of indoor contaminants that they cannot smell or feel through irritation of their respiratory tract.
