Laredo Independent School District (LISD) in Texas, has selected Lumin-Air to install its mobility air cleaners in its buses, which filter and clean harmful contaminants from the air in occupied buses without adding harmful chemicals, gases, or ions for students and bus drivers to breathe.
“No place in our school system has a higher density of people than our buses. Improving the air quality and reducing the risk of disease transmission in our school buses is important for our schools and the greater Laredo, Texas community,” said Alexis Solis, transportation director at LISD, in a recent news release.
