Parents and Students Are More Aware Than Ever Before of the Dangers of Poor Air Quality

Those perceptions are impacting their college decisions.

84% of parents rank campus cleanliness and indoor air quality as either important or somewhat important.¹

Since the pandemic, 59% of parents now consider campus air quality as part of their decision making process.¹

Campus cleanliness and IAQ is the 3rd most important factor to students when selecting their school.¹

Polluted air can cause everyone to reduce their level of education by one year.²
