Physicians are pushing for more classrooms in Utah to have an air purifier amid air pollution concerns.
According to Dr. Brian Moench with Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment, poor air quality can negatively affect the performance of students in class.
Dr. Moench said after he and other physicians saw a raft of studies showing children perform worse when there's air pollution inside the classroom, they decided to ask for a grant. "Studies show that cleaner air can improve students' ability to think to learn to read to solve math problems," said Dr. Moench."So if we can clean that up, we know students’ performance, their academic career and potential will be enhanced.”
“Being able to have the healthiest classrooms for our students, for our teachers, that’s what we want to do," said the Principal of Salt Lake Arts Academy Deborah Candler."For a small school like us, we would have never been able to afford to purchase one of those machines in every one of our classrooms," said Candler.
