Since 2015, following decree n\u00b02015-1000 school directors have been obliged to monitor indoor air quality.   <\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>It is compulsory to monitor and <strong>not exceed authorized thresholds for pollutants<\/strong> such as C02, formaldehyde, perchloroethylene and benzene.<\/p>\n\n<p>CO2 sensors, classroom air analyzers with CO2 threshold alerts&#8230; In addition to professional air purifiers, we offer monitoring devices to meet your requirements.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Covid, viruses, fine particles, pollution&#8230; which air purifier is best for classrooms and communal areas?  <\/h3>\n\n<p>To ensure equipment efficiency, we recommend<strong>purifiers with a HEPA filtration system<\/strong> capable of capturing up to 99.995% of viruses, bacteria, pollen and<a href=\"https:\/\/obera.fr\/en\/our-tips\/filtre-hepa-et-purificateur-d-air\/\"> fine particles (HEPA 14 filter)<\/a>. These filters are able to collect suspended particles of 0.3 microns or larger. <\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also essential to check the unit&#8217;s coverage capacity, so that <strong>air<\/strong> can be continuously <strong>recycled throughout the classroom<\/strong>. For the <strong>comfort of students and teachers alike<\/strong>, make sure the equipment is silent. <\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Did you know? All our air purifiers are plug &amp; play, so all you need to do is plug it into a household socket when you receive it, and it&#8217;s ready to go. In terms of positioning, the <strong>purifier should ideally be placed in front of the blackboard <\/strong>or at the back of the classroom (located in the center) to capture the maximum amount of pollutants. It is still advisable to air the rooms, especially during breaks. The filtration power of the OberA air purifier will not be impaired in any way.   <\/em><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OberA anti-virus air purifiers with HEPA filter: treat 99.995% of viruses and bacteria in your classrooms<\/h2>\n\n<p>HEPA filters are <strong>designed to capture the smallest particles<\/strong>, including viruses and bacteria.
