Breathing Better at School tm
“ … improving IAQ improves the performance of office work by adults and schoolwork by children.”
McCracken County Schools recently installed air disinfection devices in every classroom to reduce harmful microorganisms that can produce illness and disease (including mold), as well as other allergens and pollutants that irritate respiratory systems and trigger asthma attacks.
“Staff members would arrive on Monday mornings and develop symptoms that spanned headaches, sneezing, watery eyes, burning sensations in the back of the throat, and hives by the end of the day. I also had some of these symptoms.
We certainly suspected a problem, but the results of our tests were eye opening. With the devices running, there is no longer a connection between getting to work and the symptoms listed above.“

What water can do to air.
Tools for managing the air problems that come from flood waters.
“This is the first time that I can breathe freely. I no longer have to use my inhaler in the classroom. I no longer have watery eyes. The symptoms that I have experienced over the years are gone. Having this device in my classroom has changed my life and now I can continue to impact the lives of our children.”
Ms. Beverly Claybrooks,
Mold spores and mycotoxins (toxic gasses given off by growing mold) can irritate eyes, nose, and throat, and even cause skin rashes. They can cause asthma attacks and exacerbate allergy symptoms. Long-term exposure can lead to devastating health consequences.

Fact: When air quality goes up, standardized test scores go up and absences go down.

Improves Performance
Hospital-Proven
The absolute best technologies deployed in hospitals to manage viruses and bacteria are the best tools for managing mold spores and mycotoxins, plus other respiratory irritants and asthma triggers.
Turn-Key Air Quality
Point-of-origin (in classroom), in duct technologies, VOC reduction strategies, air purification systems for buses, and monitoring Technologies. Kids learn better when air the air is clean!
Portable - Redeployable
Use at point of origin for mold before and during mold remediation following flooding — then redeploy to improve IAQ (indoor Air Quality) in older schools.
A Layered Approach
Portable low-energy active air disinfection systems working in concert with persistent antimicrobial surface treatments and VOC-free disinfectants and sanitizers. Cleaner air. Safer Solutions.
Water Problems = Air Problems
“Health issues associated with mold & mycotoxins include:
- Irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat.
- Headaches, dizziness, and fatigue, and more.
- Respiratory diseases, heart disease, and cancer.”
EPA
MEDformance Safer Solutions is a layered solution set focused on the following design points:
- Mitigate the risk of infectious disease transmission
- Improve Overall Air Quality to improve the performance of teachers and students
All of our solutions are proven in healthcare settings with supporting scientific and clinical data specific to each intended application.
Air Disinfection Systems
1st Line of Defense: Portable air disinfection and cleaning systems deactivate and destroy all harmful airborne microorganisms including mold & mycotoxins.

Air Purification for Transportation
Providing continuous air purification, this mountable unit is perfect for vehicles.
By volume, there are 7x more students on a bus than in a classroom.
NASA Tech
Providing continuous air purification,
this permanently mounted unit is
perfect for spaces without HVAC duct
access. pureAir 750 Mobile features the
same active air purification technology
developed and used by NASA.
Largest Reactive Surface Area
With a reactive surface area more than 16x
greater than the competition, pureAir 750+
Mobile continuously purifies your space. The
result is the reduction of allergens from pets,
pollen, and smoke, as well as odors from
mold, mildew, and more.
Active Radiant Catalysis (ARC®)
Active Radiant Catalysis (ARC®), our
proprietary photocatalytic oxidation
(PCO) technology uses energy to
activate a catalyst, turning moisture into
products that continuously clean your
space.
Safer Breathing Spaces
Bipolar Ionization creates a plasma
of electrical charges which removes
allergens and other pathogens from the
breathing space. See Video
