Why is air quality crucial for the health of children in schools and kindergartens?
Children spend a large part of the day indoors in schools and kindergartens, where air quality is crucial for their health and well-being. However, bacteria, viruses and allergens often accumulate in these environments, which can lead to increased rates of respiratory infections and allergic reactions.
Impact of poor air quality on children’s health
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), children are two to three times more susceptible to acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI) than adults. During the first year in kindergarten or school, a child gets sick on average eight to ten times a year. Poor air quality contributes to frequent sick days, reduced concentration and a general feeling of discomfort in classrooms.
Some of the consequences of polluted air in educational institutions are:
• Increased rate of respiratory infections
• Difficulties with concentration and learning
• Worsening of asthma and allergy symptoms
• Increased absence of children and teachers due to illness
How does POTOK technology improve air quality?
POTOK technology uses advanced air decontamination methods to eliminate pathogenic microorganisms and improve hygienic conditions in schools and kindergartens. Studies conducted in prestigious institutes and laboratories confirm the effectiveness of the POTOK system in reducing bacterial and viral contamination.
Key advantages of the POTOK system:
• Elimination of bacteria and viruses – Eliminates pathogens such as influenza virus, Legionella, E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
• Reduction in the number of aerosol particles – Confirmed by studies in Hungary, Germany and Korea.
• Improving concentration and academic success – Cleaner air has a positive effect on cognitive abilities.
• Environmentally friendly solution – Without chemicals and harmful emissions.
Application of POTOK technology in educational institutions
POTOK systems can be used in different areas of schools and kindergartens, including:
• Classrooms and amphitheaters – Better air quality for undisturbed learning.
• Kindergarten rooms and playrooms – Reducing the transmission of infections among the youngest.
• Fitness halls – Less spread of bacteria in spaces with intensive physical activities.
• Canteens and canteens – Protection of children during meals from invisible threats.
• School transport – Hygienic and safer environment for the daily transport of children.
Conclusion
Investing in air quality in educational institutions is a direct investment in the health and future of children. POTOK technology offers a solution that provides a safe and clean environment, reducing the number of infections and improving the general well-being of all participants in the educational process.
