Electrostatic Disinfection In Educational Institutions

Infections like Norovirus, Hand Foot and Mouth Disease, Flu, meningitis, MRSA, and others are a real risk for any educational institution. Today, schools are pressured to do more than ever before to help promote a healthy environment.

Absenteeism tends to negatively impact student and school performance. It can also be a threat to state funding. Employee absences come with significant costs. The problems are real and on the rise: 

• There are approximately 164 MILLION lost school days each year among students in kindergarten to grade 12 alone!
• On average, students come in contact with about 152,300 germs while they’re at school
• Certain commonly used disinfectants and sanitizers can trigger asthma, allergies, and other respiratory problems

With a 180-day school year, the average student generates an average $65.34 in funding for a school district per day. The total loss of funding associated with student absenteeism costs schools in the US $10.7 billion dollars each year.
