Air purifiers to prevent airborne viruses & diseases in childcare centres

Children are at a higher risk of contracting airborne viruses and diseases such as colds, flu, COVID-19, chickenpox, measles, and hand, foot, and mouth, especially in environments where they are in close contact with one another.

Childcare centres are particularly susceptible to the spread of viruses due to the proximity of children and staff

While every precaution can be taken through cleaning and hygiene practices, a medical-grade HEPA air purifier can effectively filter viruses from the air – making them a must-have for every childcare centre.

According to a study by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, respiratory diseases such as the common cold and flu are among the leading causes of hospitalisation for children under five in Australia.

Eight reasons why your childcare centre needs an air purifier

There are many reasons why buying air purifiers for your childcare centre should be at the top of your list, not only for the health benefits for children and staff – but also for the health of your bottom line.

Stop the spread of viruses

Stop the spread of viruses

Aerosolised droplets from sick children who are sneezing and coughing can stay in the air for hours, putting other children and staff at substantial risk of infection. An air purifier filters the air to reduce the number of pathogens, helping you stop the spread of infection.

Reduce allergic reactions

Reduce allergic reactions

Many children are impacted by allergies that can trigger a wide range of symptoms, including a runny nose, coughing, and hives. Allergy triggers can be as small as pollen in the air or dust particles. An air purifier filters the air and and reduces dust and allergens in the air, lessening reactions.

Reduce environmental pollution

To make it more convenient for working parents, many childcare centres are located in urban environments that are close to main roads. An air purifier can help to remove environmental pollutants from the air, including those caused by road pollution, smog, and smoke.

Decrease odours

Due to the nature of caring for children, childcare centres can have a range of odours to manage throughout the day. Air purifiers with high capacity carbon filters can filter and adsorb odour & gases to provide a fresher-smelling indoor space.

Increase sleep quality and comfort
