My students and their families are very nervous about increased exposure to Covid-19 when we return to school in August. I am attempting to do anything I can to help alleviate the anxiety that everyone is feeling about gathering together indoors. By placing a Molekule Air Purifier in the front and back of the classroom, I am hoping to create a cleaner air environment in which we all feel more comfortable. If students are worried, learning is greatly impacted. Our basic needs have to be met before students can learn and teachers can teach. Feeling safe is one of the key basic needs, and I feel the addition of the air purifiers to our room will put students and their families a little more at ease. As stated on the Molekule website: Do Molekule air purifiers destroy COVID-19? Molekule’s PECO technology has been demonstrated to capture and destroy airborne viruses, including testing of proxy viruses for novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and influenza. While we have not tested on SARS-CoV-2 specifically, Molekule devices do meet the performance criteria recommended by the FDA guidelines for use in reducing exposure to SARS-CoV-2 in healthcare settings.
