Creating Healthy Classrooms
A good education starts with a clean, healthy, and well-maintained learning environment where children can work and play in a safe space.
However, being inside of a school building doesn’t protect pupils from poor air quality which can occur because of pollution, poor ventilation and high classroom occupancy as well as a number of other factors.
At Swiftclean, our team of dedicated specialists provide fast, reliable, and cost-effective indoor air quality monitoring for schools that help to identify any issues and make recommendations for how the quality of the air can be improved.
What is the Potential Impact of Poor Air Quality?
On average, we spend around 90% of our lives indoors and the same is true for schools with children being in their classrooms for most of the day with only 1-2 outdoor breaks if the weather permits.
Poor air quality in schools has been proven to be detrimental for children whose lungs and bodies are still developing and are therefore more vulnerable to the potential side effects. Some of the health issues that can occur as a result of poor indoor air quality include;
- Irritated and itchy eyes or throat
- Blocked or runny nose
- Headaches and dizziness
- Dry, itchy, and irritated skin
- Sore throats
- Rashes
- Fatigue, lethargy and difficulty concentrating
- Coughing, wheezing and chest pain
