Opinion | Few Schools Have Covid Relief Funds to Improve Air Quality - The New York Times

Image
Two years ago, we got a chance to assure parents and teachers, in any future epidemic, that the air in classrooms was safer, making it easier for children to attend school in person and avoid learning loss and isolation. In March 2021, Congress allocated $122 billion for schools to cope with the Covid pandemic and its aftermath — to hire tutors, retain teachers or improve their facilities. Public health and clean air advocates hoped that this would lead to widespread improvements in classroom ventilation and air quality to help ward off future pathogenic threats and reduce problems like dust, allergens and wildfire smoke. But only about 34 percent of school districts said they used any of the money to upgrade their heating ventilation and air-conditioning systems, according to a recent survey from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. About 28 percent more installed in-room air cleaners, 8 percent said they installed ultraviolet lights — a more expensive and complicated metho...

9 Best Water Filters of 2024, Tested & Reviewed by Experts - Good Housekeeping

✔️ Type and capacity: For pitchers, water bottles and other dispensers that hold water after it's filtered, you'll want to keep in mind size and weight. Larger containers are ideal for refilling less often, but they will often be heavier and may take up more space in the fridge or your backpack. A countertop model saves space in the refrigerator and often holds more water, but it requires room on the counter and will be room temperature water. With under-the-sink water filters, faucet filters, shower filters and whole-house filters, there's no need to worry about size or capacity as these instantaneously filter water as it flows through. ✔️ Filtration method: One thing to note is that many filters incorporate multiple filter types to achieve various contaminant removal. With some, the contaminants they remove can vary widely, so it's best to check what the model actually filters, so it suits your needs. The surest way to determine this is by checking which NSF standard...

Best Reverse Osmosis Water Filters Of 2024 – Forbes Home - Forbes

Efficiency Your RO system should tell you what types of contaminants they can filter and how successful they are at doing so to produce clean great-tasting water. In addition, you'll also want to investigate how much wastewater they produce in the process, as well as how the system disposes of it. Determining the overall efficiency of an RO system can be somewhat tricky. While all systems produce some amount of wastewater, many types reuse the waste for other purposes. This process can confuse the actual efficiency rating. A typical RO system makes a single gallon of purified water from about 4 gallons of unpurified water. That ratio is simple to calculate by comparing the two amounts, and the actual numbers vary between brands and types of filter systems. However, many RO systems appear to increase their efficiency numbers by sending wastewater elsewhere in the home to be reused for things like washing that perhaps don't require purified water. Many systems also recirc...
