Clean Air Classrooms #CleanAirForLife

Our Open Letter on clean air in schools, along with further concerns, has now been shared with all four UK Children’s Commissioners. Children spend ~8 hours a day in classrooms. Clean air should not be a luxury dependant on postcode.

Across 3 consecutive autumn terms, installing HEPA air filters helped this Hampshire school achieve: 🔥21% fewer illness absences 🔥4,500 extra pupil-days in school 🔥Clear benefits for SEND | SEMH | FSM #EvidenceInAction #SafeAirSchools www.portsmouth.co.uk/education/th...

Don't forget @chrischirp.bsky.social @sheencr.bsky.social @profstevegriffin.bsky.social @binitakane.bsky.social @susanmichie.bsky.social to ask the 🇬🇧 Government & @ukhsa.bsky.social Invest in Schools And Healthcare #HealthyBuildings #CleanAirIndoors 💨 bsky.app/profile/clea...

FLU is in the AIR 🇬🇧 schools " We haven't done anything different. ...wash hands" 🤔 What lessons need learning from the pandemic? Give every child Every teacher Family Healthcare Workers #CleanAirIndoors #Ventilation #AirFiltration Wear a respirator youtu.be/WxEssOeEsVk?...

'What surprised them was that 16.3% of those babies received a neurodevelopmental diagnosis by three years, compared with 9.7% of the babies who were not exposed to COVID-19 in utero'. www.propublica.org/article/covi...

This is reason I still wear a mask on all flights and probably will do so forever. I also still carry CO2 monitor to check ventilation! My lessons (after not catching it yet AFAIK): always wear a mask during travel, in tight crowded spaces, public restrooms, hotel corridors, and elevators....

Amazing that this review paper from 2021 just became my most cited paper of my 30+ yr career. I am honored to have been the lead first co-corresponding author with @ChiaWang8. COVID is indeed airborne--as are most other respiratory viruses. @ucsandiego.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/full/10....

TEDx Talks: "How persistent pathogens could accelerate the aging process by Amy Proal" '..gut tissue collected from a person with long COVID almost 2 years after..here's the thing, these chronic pathogens are the closest thing there are to hackers of the human body" www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMcV...

If you haven't listened to this yet, I highly recommend it. All your basic questions about indoor air quality -- what are the pollutants? what tech can keep them out? what policies do we need? -- are answered.

"My NHS colleagues & I weren’t willing to let the bodies pile high in their thousands. Boris no longer mentions them at all." My piece on the responses to the UK Covid-UK Inquiry report that try to airbrush the dead away. Sincere thanks, @theobserveruk.bsky.social. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Rest in peace, Alice Wong 🕊️ thesicktimes.org/2025/11/15/a...

In 6 days, the Covid Inquiry will release its final verdict on the political leadership of Boris Johnson, Matt Hancock and others during the pandemic. This report will conclude its investigation into Core UK decision-making and political governance, known as Module 2. 🧵 1/4

so excited to share our article in @nature.com Immunology on the many challenges of climate change has for our immune function, infection susceptibility and disease and the need for new ways to research this. Will do a thread later! 🧪 @lydiabeckeriii.bsky.social @exposomeimmunology.bsky.social

To mark World Ventil8 Day, we’re working with organisations from around the world to shine a light on the air we share indoors. #MTIV25 #MTIV #Accessibility #IndoorAirQuality #IAQ #SaferAirProject #WorldVentil8Day

Thanks to Erica Hartmann for leading a newly published paper, "Ten questions concerning indoor dust." What is it? Where does it come from? How does it mediate environmental exposures? How does it affect chemicals indoors? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Folks - check out this new review, led by the amazing @ericamhartmann.bsky.social: Ten questions concerning indoor dust.

London leads the way with air filters installed in schools across the capital! 🌍✨ @london.gov.uk

Blimey that’s toxic! By contrast the House of Commons is doing very well, thank you very much! Can we have clean air for all kids please? @london.gov.uk @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social @neunion.bsky.social

We share guidance including the new NEU ventilation guidance & encourage schools to take immediate, medium & long-term steps. By sharing good practice & grassroots experience we hope to help school communities feel confident discussing the air children breathe www.safeairschools.org/improving-cl...

2,796,380 teaching days are lost to sickness absence in England £222 is spent per pupil on supply teacher costs That’s 3.91% of all teaching costs per student Yet clean air costs less than the price of a pizza per child, per year Details available at #SafeAirSchools .org Ht @jneill.bsky.social

As the world overshoots temperature targets, now is the time for legal action for climate justice www.croakey.org/as-the-world...

BREAKING! 🚨 📢 We’ve taken over the ad space at Southwark tube station, calling on the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, to end adverts that promote pollution. 🧵 1/8 ✍️ Use our template to write to the Mayor: actionnetwork.org/letters/time...

If we were serious about clean air and climate action - we wouldn't allow ads that promote pollution - that's why we've done this 👇

Still time to sign up for our free webinar for World Ventilate Day 2025. We’ll be introducing new research networks and discussing how to deliver better ventilation and IAQ for everyone. 7th Nov 12-1pm, sign up at www.eventbrite.com/e/world-vent...

"more than 90 per cent of the time we are indoors, be at home, office, school … so it is indoor air which is the most important for our health. "This is the problem right now — we must establish indoor air quality standards, and mandate those standards." www.abc.net.au/news/science...
