Air Purification for Education
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is an incredibly important issue for schools across the country as IAQ can directly affect the health and comfort of students and staff. The U.S. Government reports that 50% of all U.S. school buildings have at least one environmental problem, which affects indoor air quality. For over 24 years, Airgle has helped to provide a healthy and productive environment for students, teachers and staff so that a school's core mission can be realized.
Airgle continues to establish ultra-purified, indoor air for the safety of all building occupants:
- Decreasing the exposure risk of airborne pathogens such as COVID (SARS-CoV-2), Influenza, RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) and other microbiological threats.
- Adsorbing and neutralizing VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), such as chemicals and gases, which are commonly found in buildings, which have suffered dampness or water damage.
- Capturing ultra-fine particulates, which can often remain airborne for hours or even days, such as dust, pollen, mold spores and other allergens.
Not addressing risks increases potential short and long term health problems by causing:
- Negatively impacts student attendance, comfort and performance.
- Reduces teacher and staff comfort and performance.
- Accelerates the deterioration of school facilities and equipment.
- Increases the potential for school closings or the relocation of occupants.
- Can result in negative publicity.
- Impacts community trust.
- Can create liability issues.
Outdoor Sources of Polluted Air

Building Equipment
- Microbiological growth in drip pans, ductwork, coils and humidifiers
- Improper venting of combustion products
- Dust or debris in ductwork
- Emissions from office equipment (volatile organic compounds, ozone)
- Emissions from shop, lab, and cleaning equipment
