RICHLAND, WA / ACCESSWIRE / July 18, 2024 / VirExit Technologies Inc. (OTC PINK:VXIT), a pioneer in health, safety, and security solutions, proudly announces its landmark agreement with a major US school district to conduct an onsite 3rd party lab tested MaxClean 756 Air and Surface Purification System test-pilot to objectively access MaxClean 756's effectiveness in optimizing indoor air quality and mitigation of harmful bacteria, viruses, toxic molds, fungi, and VOC's (volatile organic compounds) in a selected test area where a facility is experiencing sub-standard indoor air and surface quality and pathogenic mitigation issues.
Overview of The MaxClean 756 System
"The Worlds Most Powerful and Scalable Air Purification System"
The useful life of the district's school facilities and building assets require renovation of buildings on 25-year cycles. The current cycle between renovations is approximately 42 years. . In order to maintain a premier learning environment, major equipment and capital infrastructure replacements are needed 2-3 times between each renovation. In most cases, the district only replaces infrastructure once or, at times, not at all. (Figure 1).
Figure 1 - Capital Improvement Plan, Page 222. [7]
In addition, a recent survey by the National Center for Education Statistics highlights aging infrastructure of U.S. schools. The average age of main buildings is 49 years, with 38% built before 1970. In the Northeast, it is 62 years, two years after when most schools are abandoned. (Figure 2) [8] After 40 years, school buildings begin rapid deterioration resulting in occupants at risk for poor indoor air quality (IAQ), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and toxic mold. [9] Over time, building materials degrade, systems age, and maintenance may become less effective, leading to various physical and mental health risks impacting students' overall well-being and academic performance. [10]

Risks in Old School Buildings
Old buildings are particularly susceptible to these issues due to:
Aging HVAC Systems: Inefficient air circulation and filtration leads to the accumulation of contaminants.
Degraded Building Materials: Older materials release VOCs as they break down.
Moisture Problems: Poor insulation and outdated plumbing lead to leaks and high humidity, promoting mold growth.
Inadequate Maintenance: Deferred maintenance exacerbates the deterioration of building components, increasing the risk of poor IAQ.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Exposure Risk in Old School Buildings:
Formaldehyde: Commonly found in building materials like pressed wood products and insulation.
Benzene: Present in paints, adhesives, and cleaning products.
Toluene: Used in paints, paint thinners, and adhesives.
Xylene: Found in varnishes, paints, and adhesives.
Ethylene Glycol: Used in some paints and antifreeze products.
Toxic Molds Exposure Risk in Old School Buildings:
Stachybotrys chartarum (Black Mold): Produces mycotoxins that can cause severe respiratory issues and neurological problems.
Aspergillus: Can produce aflatoxins, which are carcinogenic and can cause lung infections.
Penicillium: Known to cause allergic reactions and respiratory problems.
Cladosporium: Can trigger asthma and allergic reactions.
Alternaria: Common allergen that can lead to respiratory issues.
Building dampness and mold in schools have been associated with increased respiratory health symptoms [11] such as coughing, wheezing and allergic rhinitis; greater prevalence of asthma; and respiratory-related absenteeism. A study of over 1,000 school children found that the concentration ofmold found in floor dust [12] was associated with headache, dizziness, and concentration problems. In the U.S., allergic rhinitis causes about two million [13] - and asthma about seven million [14] - missed school days per year among children and adolescents. In fact, asthma is the leading cause of school absenteeism [15] in the U.S. due to chronic illness.
Video - Indoor Air Quality in Schools
MaxClean 756 system enhances the quality of air exchanges, prolonging HVAC useful lifespan, and achieves energy savings, without the risk of mold spore formation or air quality degradation. The District's goal is to evaluate and adopt an Indoor Air Quality Technology that will combat the poor indoor air quality at many of its antiquated school buildings while also being integrated into new construction specs to maintain indoor air quality protocols and practices. These updated indoor quality protocols and practices are accessed by obtaining 3rd party lab empirical data results that can be communicated with stakeholders to validate an enhanced indoor air environment for optimization of well-being for teacher and staff productivity, student engagement, and academic performance.
With 36% [7] of the district's Indoor Air Quality (HVAC) infrastructure past its useful life (Table 3) and a projected 37% [7] increase in HVAC replacement backlog costs (totaling $213.2 million by FY 2029 - Table 5), VirExit's MaxClean 756 offers a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution that may even fall under Energy Savings Performance Contracting (ESPC). ESPC are a way to simultaneously improve energy efficiency, address maintenance backlogs and reduce future renovation costs.

Amidst the growing indoor air quality crisis affecting schools nationwide, poor air quality has been shown to negatively impact both students and staff, leading to decreased productivity and academic performance. Studies indicate that prolonged exposure to indoor air pollutants can result in respiratory issues, allergies, and other health problems, underscoring the urgent need for effective solutions.
The MaxClean 756 pilot aims to create a healthier environment by mitigating air and surface pathogens, toxic mold, fungi, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The implementation of this technology in school settings promises to enhance indoor air quality, thereby fostering better health outcomes and improved educational experiences for students and staff alike.
"We are thrilled to partner with such a prominent school district in this pioneering effort," stated James C. Katzaroff, CEO of Virexit Technologies." The MaxClean 756 system is not only designed to improve air quality and mitigate harmful pathogens but also to deliver significant energy savings, making it a highly cost-effective solution for schools struggling with budget constraints. Virexit Technologies is confident the MaxClean 756 System will bring substantial long term value to many school districts around the country experiencing these same types of Indoor Air Quality issues.
MaxClean 756's implementation process includes on-site pre and post 3rd Party Level II Lab Verification of Indoor Air Quality / Pathogenic Mitigation assessment and resolution, documented in a detailed lab report.
MaxClean 756 has developed a robust testing protocol with a 3rd party lab specializing in indoor air quality and microorganisms. This creates confidence for school decision makers. We have no interest in solving problems that do not exists. On-site 3rd party pre/post-testing builds trust based on empirical data.
Most of the school systems that made indoor air quality improvements never performed any pre-testing to determine each building's exact problems, if existing, that require resolution, nor determined the species and levels detected. Each building needs pre-testing to identify the problem and post testing to validate the MaxClean 756 improvements are effective and comprehensive for each buildings use, type and age.
