Protect Our Kids. Purify Responsibly.
Sign the Petition: Demand Government Funding Be Used ONLY for Safe, Medical-Grade Air Purifiers from American Companies
Our children deserve clean air—without harmful side effects.
Across the country, schools are investing federal and state dollars to improve indoor air quality. But not all air purifiers are created equal—and many of the devices being purchased with taxpayer funding are ineffective, unregulated, and even harmful.
We, the undersigned parents, teachers, and concerned citizens, believe that government funding for school air purification must be held to a higher standard.
The Risks We’re Seeing in Classrooms Today:
-
Foreign-made purifiers that lack U.S. quality control and safety testing
-
Electronic purifiers that emit ozone, a known lung irritant the EPA warns can harm children’s respiratory health
-
Devices with high-maintenance filters that require constant replacement—wasting taxpayer money on filter costs, maintenance contracts, and labor
These choices put our children and teachers at risk while draining school budgets.
What We’re Calling For:
We urge school districts and lawmakers to ensure that government funds are ONLY used for air purifiers that meet the following criteria:
- American air cleaner manufacturing: following strict American quality and safety standards
- Mechanical, medical-grade filtration: including true HEPA and activated carbon recommended by agencies like the EPA and CDC
- Safe technology: free from ozone emissions and other potentially harmful byproducts
- Long-lasting filters: filters designed to last years to reduce ongoing costs for schools
Why It Matters
-
Ozone-emitting air purifiers have been shown to trigger asthma and other respiratory issues—especially in children with existing conditions.
-
Medical-grade, mechanical air purifiers like Austin Air that are assembled in the USA and do not emit ozone or other dangerous byproducts.
-
Unlike low-cost imports or electronic gadgets, Austin Air units are built to last, with filters that last up to 5 years, dramatically reducing long-term maintenance and replacement costs.
It’s Time to Set a Higher Standard for School Air
Clean air should never come with a health warning.
Our children deserve safe, proven, and reliable protection—especially when schools are using public funds. Sign the petition today and join the growing movement of parents, teachers, and health advocates saying: “We want clean air. Not compromised air.”
Let’s send a clear message to school boards, state leaders, and federal agencies: If you’re going to fund clean air, do it right.
