Purified Air Australia: Building healthier classrooms with better air

The evidence is clear

Improving indoor air quality (IAQ) produces measurable benefits for both students and teachers. The Parliamentary Research Report on IAQ (July 2025) highlights studies showing that better ventilation reduces illness-related absences, improves concentration and behaviour, and supports cognitive performance. Teachers in healthier classrooms report less fatigue and stress, making it easier to manage lessons and support students effectively. Schools that prioritise IAQ see stronger learning outcomes and a more stable workforce.

Solutions schools can implement now

The challenge is not whether schools should act, but how to act in practical and sustainable ways. IAQ problems are often invisible, but the solutions are well established.

1. Assessment and monitoring

Measuring CO₂, humidity, and particulate levels provides schools with reliable data on the quality of the classroom environment. A clear baseline makes it possible to identify risks and target improvements.

2. Ventilation improvements

Where buildings allow, upgrading or retrofitting ventilation systems ensures a healthier exchange of indoor and outdoor air. Even small improvements can reduce CO₂ build-up and improve classroom conditions.

3. Air purification systems

High-quality purification systems remove airborne pollutants including fine particles and pathogens. These are particularly valuable in older buildings and in regional schools that lack modern ventilation infrastructure.

4. Policy and practice

Embedding IAQ standards into school operations, from room use to cleaning practices, ensures improvements are maintained over time.

Purified Air Australia supports schools at every stage of this process. From initial assessment through to implementation of tailored solutions, our focus is on evidence-based practice that reflects the realities of classrooms.

A vision of safer, healthier schools

Addressing air quality transforms classrooms into places where students are able to learn with focus and energy. Teachers can lead lessons without the additional strain caused by fatigue and poor environmental conditions. For schools in disadvantaged or regional communities, cleaner air narrows equity gaps and gives students a fairer chance to succeed. For school leaders, improved IAQ strengthens staff retention, reduces absence, and demonstrates a clear commitment to duty of care.

Air quality cannot be seen, but its impact is visible in every aspect of school life. When it is neglected, students fall behind, staff wellbeing suffers, and compliance risks grow. When it is addressed, learning, equity, and workforce stability improve together.

Purified Air Australia: Turning research into action

Purified Air Australia partners with schools to create healthier classrooms. Our solutions are based on evidence and designed for real learning environments. By improving IAQ, we help schools safeguard health, protect equity, and support staff wellbeing, while ensuring compliance with emerging standards.
