Clean air in Schools and Universities | Classrooms | Computer Labs | Staff Rooms | Canteens
Like the classrooms, canteens are also a high-density spaces where students and staff come together to eat and socialise. In canteens with attached kitchens, cooking releases particles in the air that impacts the overall indoor air quality. How we cook can generate a crazy level of pollutants, which can be particularly harmful to children due to their developing immune systems. A canteen can become like a chemistry lab and can be the highest source of indoor pollutants in a school.
Canteens can also double up as assembly halls or sports halls and particles generated from cooking can linger in the air for up to 16 hours!
A study by CLASP, found that cooking with gas and no proper ventilation can produce air pollution levels that exceed World Health Organisation's guidelines. In fact, a simulation of a UK kitchen found NO2 levels in breach of the EU limits for around 15 hours a week. That’s more than 2 hours every day!
The solution
The good news is that studies show that air purifiers with both HEPA and Carbon filters can reduce indoor NO2 levels by as much as a 27%!
Our Blast and Blast Mini air purifiers are equipped with HEPA filters that can remove 99.97% of particles generated from cooking and a carbon filter will help remove gases from the air. According to the size of the room, you can place either two Blast units or three to four Blast Mini units in the canteen.
