From daydream to reality: a mural on air quality at UPFEST - Europe's largest live street art festival in Bristol. I was excited to try getting out of the information silos & communicate directly with people who aren't going to hear or engage with "ventilation".. 🧵

Finding new ways to engage with people about the benefits of clean air in schools and public spaces isn't easy. This is a really interesting initiative and it creates a talking point; a way to start these conversations more widely. Good luck Ruth and @CleanAir4KidsUK!

Covid doesn't take the summer off and neither do I, we need a push for awareness and change now more than ever. I will continue helping others and over the next few months kick the noise into high gear, so if you'd like to help support my efforts I would appreciate it, even a share goes a long way. There is a lot of work to be done and I am ready to make some noise and help some people along the way. #AwareWeCare @canuckbcinbc @ali_b_where @sophie_bloomz @jsquipu @choccieboy @CarolinePamp @Rhan_or_Lilybet @SSDGHDB7 @CoolDrainX @Brothersjef @hoyjabits @DonaldKerry @lo_rainne @PasserbyA2 @ekschaeff @Flazsky @D_Tea4Two @OkatieQ @ellaeIIa @MakuMinoru68 @7566Books @eyeballbay @drstiehl_m @AnntoninaR @ShineOn35032621 @OleKingColeAtl @RhianneHarben @KESagers @amber_colatosti @lmrpellegrino @seawaydweller @pie_rat @utopaymara @Rombea2 @yasroro @ickleflufybunny @springymel @Joshua_Sci @CadieuxLinda @erineslo @admiralizzy @mauvereen2 @DDG97560547 @no65902097 @happylittlebean

I’m going to work hard to raise as much awareness as I can. Now is the time to change course. I kicked off fundraising around 19 months ago to... 1. Raise Awareness for Covid and Long Covid. 2. Provide education assistance to families. 3. Provide advocacy assistance. 4.

"Despite considerably more knowledge, tools and resources, the trajectory of pandemic risk is moving in the wrong direction". As I have often said, the politicisation of Covid-19 - both the disease and the response - has made the world less prepared for the next pandemic.

@pubhealthaction and @AirSupportBox will co-host a discussion on Sunday, May 24th at 5pm ET about clean indoor air in healthcare settings. We'll talk about how to stay safe from airborne pathogens in healthcare settings, how to deal with unaware or hostile healthcare personnel, how patients can advocate for themselves in healthcare settings, and what some doctors' offices and hospitals are doing to ensure clean air for patients. Our guest speakers will be Maria Walls, a nurse practitioner in St. Louis who sees Long COVID patients, and Donna Zelazny, a nurse with Long COVID. You'll need a free Zoom account in order to register, link in bio. See you there! tinyurl.com/cleanairhealth…

Hi folks, we've just released our second podcast episode, "Breathe This", with Dr. Jonathan Howard, @19joho. Dr. Howard is an Associate Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry at NYU Langone Health and the Chief of Neurology at Bellevue Hospital.

CO2 monitors have become popular tools people can use to estimate their indoor air quality. A new study was recently published that explores how we can use them to optimise occupancy thresholds and identify problem locations. Actual practical science!!! 🧵

As the Andes hantavirus outbreak linked to the MV Hondius cruise ship expands across multiple countries, researchers are warning that airborne transmission must be taken seriously. Current guidance in some settings still recommends medical masks, despite respirators such as N95, FFP2, and FFP3 masks being specifically designed to protect against airborne infectious particles. Medical masks are not designed to provide the same level of airborne protection. With documented person-to-person transmission, uncertain infectious timing, and long incubation periods, the World Health Network is calling for stronger airborne precautions, including universal respirator use and clearer public communication around airborne risk.

Wildfires have a BIG impact on air pollution. 👇

Alliant biotech is giving away their remaining 20 pallets of size large redimasks. For local pickup by the pallet load only. reddit.com/r/Masks4All/s/… They haven't yet specified whether all 20 pallets must be picked up together or not, but I assume, at the very least, that that would be their preference.

The air purifier workshop yesterday was a great success. We build two machines that have a higher performance to cost ratio than anything you can buy, by a factor of a couple, with an excellent CADR to noise ratio. The one with the cheapie fans was $79 CAD and the one with the P14 fans was $92 IIRC. The airflow multiplied by 0.85 was about 215 CFM, for both. This is slightly lower than the 250 of the first one made last Tuesday (which was approx 41.5 dBa at full power), I have some hypothesis for why, including the measurement error but that's not a big deal right now. Based on CADR and noise and price, the cheapie fans are actually I think a bit better. We tested the machines to show they work, with a highly sensitive particle detector, an anemometer and a fog generator. One workshop participant bought one machine at the cost of parts. Someone wanted the other one but thought someone else wanted it and things got confused and I ended up with it, I'll find a home for it another time, or I might actually just cut the tape and dismantle it so we can build it again next time which is a bit of a shame but they are pretty easy to build. I again found that people were not actually very receptive to the disease suppression side of things, even with the recent Hantavirus business. They were more concerned with PM pollution of various kinds, and the effects. This disappoints me of course as I think this is the doozy. I hope to hold the event again in maybe 2 months, and every 2 months or so, making it a bit better each time. It was a nice day, we had tremendous airflow, just like being outside, a strong breeze through the room, enough to slam the door shut so hard I thought it might break the glass. I guess we could have measured it with the anemometer, but it varies greatly over time of course. Two or three of us masked anyway. We also had a ~750 CFM CADR Extra-quiet CR box in operation. AltDocs also came to the larger event and conducted pluslife testing on anyone who wanted it, including me before the workshop. AltDocs also had a great table in the main area where he taught about masking, testing, sip valves etc., did fit testing with the Portacount the three of us bought, and showed CO2 and particle meters and all kinds of great stuff. I asked if we could take a group photo but the answer was no, so that was that, that is why there are no pics of the participants, we do not want to support mass surveillance.

It's #PHANtasticFriday and we're spotlighting Clean Air Allies, which recently announced the winners for their youth video contest about the importance of clean air in schools. The winning videos are short, creative, and fun!

💯🎯 Based on modeling work I've done, if >25% ppl mask (N95), we eliminate massive waves. The power of masking! It is not linear, 25% masking reduces new daily infections by more than 60%. You CAN make a difference.

@bethbourdon @JenLawrence21 @PiperK @seanspicer We don’t need people to just mask when they’re sick. They doesn’t stop transmission at all. By then it’s too late. People are MOST contagious when they’re pre symptomatic and most spread is happening asymptotically. That’s why masking *when you feel healthy* is crucial.
