Air Quality Testing

Air Quality In Schools

A Safe School Has Proper Indoor Air Quality

As schools open again this fall in Ontario, indoor air quality in schools has become a timely topic.

For a high occupancy building such as a school or day care environment, proper ventilation, humidity control and air purification is essential to ensure the safety of its occupants.

All schools should know their Air Changes Per Hour (ACH), relative humidity as well as airborne particle concentration for class rooms and lecture halls.

Airborne and surface contact allergens such as mould, bacteria as well as viruses thrive in poorly ventilated indoor spaces with poor humidity control and ineffective air purification systems.

Have your school or day care tested for indoor air quality to ensure the safety of your staff and students.

Indoor Air Quality Testing For Schools

Ventilation

Schools and Day Care environments need proper ventilation to prevent a build up of indoor pollutants as well as VOC's, Airborne Allergens, Bacteria and Viruses. If you don't know your Air Changes Per Hour (ACH) for your classrooms, lecture areas or day care rooms...you don't know if you have the proper air quality to resume classes safely.

Humidity Control

Airborne allergens such as mould spores, bacteria and viruses can be mitigated with proper relative humidity indoors. Too dry or too humid can create indoor air pollution that can increase these organisms.

Air Purification

Proper air purification is a must for a safe indoor environment and proper indoor air quality. If you don't know how well your air filtration system is performing, then you may have poor indoor air quality and potentially and unsafe environment. There are numerous air purification systems on the market...not all perform as advertised.

Have your air quality and your air purification systems tested, for peace of mind.
