87% of UK schools are in areas exceeding WHO pollution limits.

This shocking image shows how much the Blast can capture in a short amount of time 😳

Designed for classrooms, the powerful Blast runs quietly all day, catching what could otherwise end up in our children’s lungs 🫁

Some schools choose small, discreet purifiers because they 'look' right 🤔

But with thirty children in one classroom, you need what 'works' right 💨

The Blast is built for real classrooms, quietly delivering high volumes of clean, healthier air.

Choose discreet, or choose effective‼️

Children take in more air per kg than adults, meaning they absorb more pollutants in classrooms with poor air quality.

Spending 30+ hours a week in this environment can affect both lung development & concentration.

Clean air in schools is essential.

The Blast air purifier is placed centrally in the room. To the right, a science area displays posters and educational materials. Text on the image highlights the importance of clean air for children, stating 'Kids breathe in 2-3 times more air per kg than adults. Shouldn't it be clean air?' with a caption at the bottom right reading 'The Blast in a UK primary school.

Such an important piece. The positive momentum behind clean indoor air is palpable. But we’re not there yet as my last post demonstrates. Please read and share and get behind this cause.

Why investment in clean indoor air is vital preparation for the pandemics and climate emergencies to come

Unchecked airborne infections cost billions in lost health and productivity each year – likely more than the cost of better ventilation to clean up indoor air.

Opening windows is important. But here’s the truth: ventilation alone doesn’t cut it. Pollution still creeps in. Allergens still trigger sneezes. Dust still settles.

The winning combo?
✅ Ventilation for circulation
✅ Filtration for protection

eTVOC levels jumped from low to 185 µg/m³ this morning as Cadent Gas street works began nearby.

It’s a reminder why real-time air monitoring matters, especially during infrastructure upgrades 😳.

Anyone else tracking air quality near street works?

Nearly 40% the classroom’s air is actively cycled through young lungs every single day.

If that air carries allergens, viruses, or particulate matter, exposure is direct and repeated.

Clean air in classrooms is the bare minimum children deserve.

Asthma is the #1 chronic illness in kids. Poor air quality makes it worse. Add in 30+ hours a week in classrooms with dodgy ventilation, and you’ve got a recipe for more sick days and less learning.

Clean air helps kids breathe easier, learn better, and stay healthier.
