NYC Schools Will See 10K Delos Air Purifiers
The New York City Department of Education selected Delos, a New York-based wellness real estate and technology company, to provide 10,000 air purification units for the city’s public schools. The department will install the units before the first day of school.
The decision to partner with Delos was made as mounting evidence suggests that small aerosolized particles that may carry the coronavirus can remain suspended in air and persist in aerosol form for long periods of time indoors. Air purification systems are considered by many to be a critical supplementary approach to reducing transmission rates.
“For more than eight years, Delos has fostered research collaborations with leading medical institutions, including a collaboration with Mayo Clinic on the Well Living Lab,” said Delos CEO Paul Scialla. “We’re pleased to bring this research into practice to help the New York City public schools keep students, teachers, staff and the broader community safer.”
