Back to school: "Clean Air for our Kids" project by Belfius and Airscan.
Today we celebrate the restart of the academic year. Already as a tradition, this year our team will continue helping schools all around Belgium with Indoor Air Quality monitoring and improvement. Discover more about “Clean Air for Our Kids” project in our last video, recorded in the Open Air School in Schilde at the end of the last academic year.
We would also like to thank Belfius for supporting this unique project and our partner Ethera, whose technology showed a perfect match for indoor air quality monitoring in schools.
