Green Innovation & Practices
Children are much more vulnerable to airborne pollutants than adults because their breathing passages have smaller diameters; even very small irritations can narrow airways to dangerous degrees.  Also, children have high metabolisms, their bodies require more oxygen relative to their size and weight.  This means they inhale pollutants more rapidly than adults.

Over the course of most of the 1990's and into this new millennium, the number of children under age 18 who suffer from asthma has doubled.

Schools and universities are typically older constructed buildings and do not receive the maintenance to keep up with today's standards of air quality.  HVAC systems are not usually cleaned and preventative equipment is not installed to provide air pollutant protection.

We are committed to providing the best technology solutions to protect the fragility of our youth in these school environments, and provide the equipment and services to deliver air quality to the highest global standards.

Recent tests using UV disinfection in school environments improves many health and behavioural factors.  Read more about them in the Canadian Air & Water flyer, "UV germicidal systems helps improve school air quality".

UV disinfection is simply the best choice due to a variety of reasons:

  • provides the only safe method for killing deadly viruses and bacteria, including many other microbiological contaminants

  • does not require filters

  • works around the clock with minimal power consumption

  • does not produce dangerous by-products such as ozone

  • decontaminates particles that are not trapped by HEPA, or other similar filters

  • is used by transportation, hospitals, public buildings, schools, and many homes successfully throughout the world for many years

Contact Canadian Air & Water to find the portable and/or central UV disinfection system suitable for your university or school environment.  Our systems are specifically designed to the size and level of contaminate protection requested.
