My Project

Clean air is important for everyone and becomes increasingly more important as our air pollution rises. Although everyone should be able to enjoy clean air, children need clean air the most.

Children have an increased air intake as their lungs begin to develop as they start to age.

This time is crucial to ensure children have clean air so their lungs can develop strongly and healthily.

We ourselves cannot control the ambient outdoor air and its level of pollution. This would require more large-scale regulations on pollution, but we can control our indoor level of air pollution. Cleaning the air with an air purifier creates the healthiest environment for our children as they begin to age.

Along with an increased air intake, children are at a higher risk of developing respiratory issues like asthma and that risk becomes even higher if they’re exposed to high levels of air pollution.

Air purifiers with high efficiency air filters and strong motors take in the polluted air in a school, filter out the nasty particles, and push clean air back into the classroom. Clean air is what children, and everyone in the school, should be breathing, but there’s work that needs to be done to maintain healthy air quality in your home. But no need to worry, it’s as easy as pushing a button!

Air purifiers can help children as they grow up. Whether they have a difficult time focusing or sleeping or feel overly anxious, being a kid is hard enough already, and air purifiers can lend a helping hand.
