Children are particularly vulnerable to issues related to indoor air quality. Their developing immune and neurological systems make them more susceptible to the harmful effects of poor indoor air. Because they breathe more air relative to their body weight, they receive a higher dose of any pollutants present. To safeguard children's health, it is essential to minimize their exposure to chemicals in schools and other indoor settings.

UL GREENGUARD Certification indicates that a product meets industry standards for low emissions. However, items intended for children's rooms or educational environments should adhere to even more stringent standards. This is where UL GREENGUARD Gold Certification ensures that products emit significantly lower levels of pollutants and have particularly low formaldehyde emissions.

As a school furniture manufacturer we have a responsibility to make sure the furniture we supply to schools is considered and can be proven safe. On August 27th 2014 MityBilt Products Inc. was congratulated by the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI) for diligence and persistence in continuing to produce low emitting product for the indoor environment. To receive this GREENGUARD certification, the products were tested according to GREENGUARD’s rigorous standards for lowemitting products. Furthermore MityBilt also passed the GREENGUARD Gold Certification. Since 2014 MityBilt Products Inc. is continuing to produce low emitting product for the indoor educational environments, certified by GREENGUARD.
