The pilot project investigates the efficacy of Medifyair Air Filters in reducing PM2.5 concentrations in eight childcare centers in four Environmental Justice areas in Philadelphia. Analyzing data collected
over a two-week period, the study reveals a decrease in PM 2.5 levels, averaging from 6.04 μg/m3 to 1.02 μg/m3, demonstrating the effectiveness of the air filters. Concurrently, Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) improved, with an average IAQ drop from 23.79 to 4.13 μg/m3. Variability among participants highlights the need for tailored interventions regarding family and center- based facilities.
