Why Is Air Quality Monitoring Important for Schools and Universities?
Students, staff, and families are exposed to changing air quality every day on campus. Real-time monitoring helps schools reduce pollution risks, support healthier learning environments, and build trust with parents and local communities.
For Parents, Students & Staff
How does air quality monitoring help keep students and families safe at school?
Air quality data from MapView® helps parents, students, and staff plan the cleanest route and choose the best time to arrive or leave school, lowering daily exposure. Those with respiratory conditions can turn on MapView® notifications to get real-time alerts when pollution spikes unexpectedly.
Awareness campaigns increase understanding and inspire young people to take an active role in tackling the environmental crisis. Parents’ guilds and student unions benefit from clear, transparent data, which strengthens engagement and creates a healthier, more informed learning community.
Creating clean air zones around school premises, adopting anti-idling policies, and relocating drop-off and pick-up points away from entrances all help reduce pollution levels at peak times.
For Schools & Universities
How can schools use air quality data to create healthier learning spaces?
Monitoring reveals pollution spikes and trends, making it possible to plan effective mitigation strategies that protect everyone on campus. Schools and universities that monitor air quality are seen as active advocates for clean air and healthy, productive learning.
Real-time insights can even help with daily scheduling, such as moving outdoor activities to lower pollution periods. Adding air quality topics to the curriculum raises awareness among students and staff.
In addition to MapView®, schools can install green screens in classrooms to display pollution levels from Persium Pods in real time. New buildings can also be planned further from main roads with safe walking routes, helping reduce everyday exposure.
