Students have access to cleaner air in class thanks to statewide initiative

Many schools now have air purifiers in their classrooms, given to them for free as part of an initiative led by the Utah Department of Health and Human Services and a group called Utah Physicians For a Healthy Environment.

Dr. Brian Moench, the president of Utah Physicians For a Healthy Environment, said the organization met it's goal with around 73% of children in the state now having access to the purifiers in their classrooms. Dr. Moench estimates around 700,000 children will benefit from the program’s success, along with the teachers and other staff in the buildings.

The doctor explained how Utah has added layers of air quality concerns that children in other states don’t face.
