Preliminary results from a study at two Helsinki daycare centres show that using air purifiers led to a significant reduction in illnesses and absences among children and staff. Different sizes and types of air purifiers were tested, with promising results showing a 30 percent decrease in sickness. The study also aims to determine if air purification can help reduce stomach ailments. The research is part of the E3 Pandemic Response project, focusing on preventing the spread of infectious diseases. The final results are expected next spring, with potential cost-saving benefits for employers and improved health outcomes for children and their families.
