Steril-Aire For Schools

What Are Our (Your) Children Breathing?

Contaminated air in air-conditioned buildings has become an international issue that continues to escalate. Even education experts recognize that certain contaminants are causing widespread school absenteeism and poor performance.

The vast majority of our school's today were designed with cost efficiency in mind. They are tightly constructed, with sealed windows and a high percentage of recirculating air.

As many air-quality experts will tell you, such designs can cause indoor air quality problems if remedial measures are not taken.

Harmful To Our Children's Health As

Steril-Aire can help eliminate bioaerosals and other contaminants from your school's indoor air system. Bioaerosals are one of the leading causes of SBS (Sick Building Syndrome).

Such was the case of Lolani High School in Honolulu, Hawaii, where school officials needed to find a more effective way to control mold in the school building's air handlers.

Until the school installed a Steril-Aire system, it was spending more than $8,000 a year for coil cleanings. But shortly after every cleanup, mold buildup would begin anew.

After the Steril-Aire System was installed, an independent testing laboratory conducted before-and-after mold tests. The lab reported that the "before" samples contained an average of 2,087 colony-forming (mold) units per milliliter, indicating high levels of mold growth in the air-handling system.

By contrast, the "after" samples contained an average count of only 26 cfu/ml - - an astounding 99.8 percent
reductions. These figures were borne out by visual inspection as well.

Steril-Aire Solves "Sick Building
Syndrome" Plaguing Arizona School

Julie Hibbard, Principal - Campe Verde Elementary School - Arizona and other school officials credit Steril-Aire with solving Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) in their school. As she puts it, "UVC products (as manufactured by Steril-Aire) solved the 'Sick Building Syndrome' we were experiencing at our school. They eliminated all the terrific odors and extreme allergic symptoms that our teachers and students were experiencing."

"When I examined the system a few days after the Steril-Aire installation, I was amazed," said one school official. "The coil was so clean, it looked as if it had just come from the factory. So, in a sense, we received an immediate payback on our investment."
