Research in child day care centers in Helsinki shows purifying the air reduces infectious illness by almost 20%, and that purifying the air in all public spaces should be examined. (yle.fi)

Kids in daycare are sick a wild amount of time. Nearly constantly during the indoor seasons, and only often in outdoor seasons.

I cannot read the article (laungage barrier), but I expect being 20% less sick is a net gain. Instead of 20 illnesses a year, only 16.
