Children achieve, play and learn better with plenty of clean oxygen.
Clean air to breathe should be the norm for every child, but sadly this is not the case. Poor air quality in schools results in difficulty in concentrating and tiredness, among other things. Mobilane contributes to cleaner air by way of the GreenMySchool project: the Mobilane solutions allow every school to improve their air quality. It is possible to fund the entire project through government subsidies. We are available to help you with this process.
The impact of fine dust particulates
The main sources of air pollution are traffic and industry, with particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide and ozone (smog) contaminating the air. Coarse dust is the result of mechanical processes and airborne dust, the ultra-fine dust particulates are produced through combustion processes like in cars. The ultra-fine dust particulates are especially harmful and can force their way deep into the body via the lungs to cause damage. The World Health Organization (WHO) says that across the globe, more than 90 percent of children under 15 years old breathe air every day that is so polluted it may put their health at risk. Children are more vulnerable to polluted air because they breathe faster.
A healthy choice for the school playground
Research shows that the Mobilane Green Screen Hedera helix Woerner – Instant Ivy Hedge – absorbs up to 60% of nitrogen dioxide and (ultra) fine dust particulate concentrations. The Hedera remains green all year round and continuously produces new leaves. The growing leaf surface is a significant advantage for achieving the absorption of fine dust particulates from the air. The larger particulates stay on the leaf until rain washes them off, ultra-small particulates are so small that they end up as gas particles in the leaf’s stomata.
Instant Hedera helix Woerner
The Green Screens by Mobilane are available in a variety of plants and in various sizes. One of the options is a hedge of Hedera helix Woerner, a perennial and evergreen dark-coloured ivy that has different shaped leaves. Another choice with some more colour is the Pyracantha Dart’s Red, a perennial Firethorn.
