Government Funding Roll Out for Air Purifiers in Schools | Toni Riddock, Vybra
Vybra is excited to learn that thirty primary schools in Bradford are taking part in a Government-funded research project to test air purifiers, in a pilot scheme to tackle Covid in confined spaces.
30 Schools
If the devices are found to work, the study could deliver a “massive prize” in the fight against Covid, while also cutting absences due to colds and flu and improving the air quality for pupils with asthma and hay fever.
in a Government funded project to trial air purifiers
With the first results from the trial due before the end of the year, it could pave the way for a rollout of the technology across the country in 2022 Proving that the introduction of a good quality air purifer removing 99.97% of all particles could help a multitude of ailments, such as hay fever, airborne allergies and the spread of virus and bacteria.
The introduction of effective air purifiers could provide benefits that go far beyond simply combatting Covid. Large numbers of children miss school because of various airborne illnesses – so there’s an opportunity to tackle two things simultaneously,
A trial of the use of air purifiers in primary schools in London in 2018/2019 reported it improved pupils’ test results and resulted in fewer absences due to ill health. Proving that a good quality air purifer removing 99.97% of all particles could help a multitude of ailments, such as hay fever, airborne allergies and the spread of virus and bacteria.
The effects of air pollution on children
Children are at risk from long-term lung damage, both while at school and also as they travel to school – whether that is on foot or in their family cars or school buses. Children face special risks from air pollution because their lungs continue to grow until adulthood, with 80% of their tiny air sacs developing after birth.
If children are exposed to high levels of air pollution over a long period, they might be at risk of:
• their lungs not working as well when they’re older • developing asthma during childhood or as an adult - and if they have asthma already, air pollution can make it worse
• wheezing and irratable coughs • lung cancer, heart disease and possibly even diabetes • infections like pneumonia
