The Indoor Air Quality in a College Dorm is Frightening

 

Sending your kid to college is exciting ... and scary. Especially when they have health conditions such as asthma, allergies, or an autoimmune disease.

Here’s what parents need to know...
 
Studies show over 39% of student dorms have mold. (1)
 
In fact, students at Howard University organized a nine-day sit-in to protest mold found in 34 dorm rooms.(2)
 
And it gets worse:
 
According to the EPA, 50% of schools report poor air quality. (3) And 80% of campus power plants are classified as a major source of air pollution under the federal clean air program. (4)
 
And where do you think a lot of that pollution ends up? That's right: in your child's dorm room. Where they sleep. (Did you know we lose approximately 50% of our lung capacity to filter toxins while we are lying down?)
 
These are all huge concerns for parents of those with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions who live in a dorm.
 
Just imagine:
 
Your beloved child spends thousands of hours in close quarters with hundreds of other students—potentially breathing in mold spores, bacteria, dust, chemicals, and other airborne allergens.
 
That's not to mention the secondhand smoke probably making its way into your child's room from students' cigarettes, vapes, and all of the other "activities" that often take place in dorms.
 
If that's not bad enough, building materials and furniture often release VOCs (volatile organic compounds) into the air. These harmful gasses can cause and aggravate all kinds of conditions and have even been associated with cancer.
So ... we don't blame you for worrying. That’s your baby.

Sending a child off to college can be terrifying! Especially when you consider the poor indoor air quality of a college dorm! Smoke, odors, viruses, bacteria, mold, mildew... the list goes on! How can you ensure he or she will be safe?

 

University staff therapist and adviser of Active Minds (a mental health awareness and advocacy group) discusses mental health on college campuses, and how air purification can contribute to a healthy and safe environment for all.

 

The Good News: There's a Simple Solution…

 

The EPA, CDC, and WHO are clear: when it comes to indoor air pollution, portable air purifiers with HEPA are the answer.

An extensive study by the EPA found that HEPA with activated carbon is best.
But did you know most air purifiers on the market simply don't have enough HEPA and activated carbon to truly be effective?
 
That’s how they can afford to make them so cheap.
 
Austin Air purifiers have 60 square feet of HEPA and up to 15 pounds of activated carbon. No other air purifier comes close.
 
That means, Austin Air purifiers effectively remove up to 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns and up to 99% of airborne particles as small as 0.1 microns, including…
 
-Viruses
-Bacteria
-Smoke
-Mold
-VOCs
-Allergens
 
Picture this: you put an air purifier in your kid's dorm room, thinking you're helping. And the purifier itself releases harmful chemicals into the air. Ironic, huh?!
 
Guess what? Many air purifiers are like that! But Austin Air purifiers have non-toxic coated paint and do NOT "off-gas" like other air purifiers.
 
Lastly, Austin Air purifiers are the only clinically proven air purifiers on the market! That's right: Austin Air has been shown in six randomized controlled studies to help kids with asthma ... and people with COPD and other conditions (even high blood pressure!).
 
No other air purifier can compare to the quality and performance of Austin Air purifiers. And they're handcrafted in the good ol' U.S. of A in Buffalo, New York.
How would you feel knowing your child was breathing fresh, clean air in their dorm room—free of pollutants?
 
Make the investment in their health … and your peace of mind.
