Breathing in air pollution from wood burning increases your risk of heart and lung disease, asthma, diabetes and dementia.

Even homes with newer “Ecodesign” wood burners are three times more polluted than those without.

This #CleanAirNight, share the facts about wood burning.

Safeguarding systems often fail not because policies are missing - but because staff are not supported to understand why those policies exist.

This is something I’ve seen first-hand, and it keeps coming up in conversations with other parents.

Run those air cleaners harder than ever. (I know some people turned them off or down so they could better hear horns or whistles but it might be time to crank them up.)
Tear gas and smoke filling north and northeast Minneapolis tonight on is a perfectly clear winter night in the city.

The British seem to have accepted condensation and sometimes mould, as an inevitable part of winter.
Did you know it doesn’t have to be that way?

Merry Christmas 🎄 🥂

Most winter bugs don’t mainly spread via touch. Flu, RSV, COVID, colds and more spread through shared indoor air - even without coughing. Normal breathing and talking is enough. Open the windows, even just a bit. Freshen the air.

In 2020, I went down a clean air information wormhole and it completely changed how I see everyday life - our health, energy, and how we function day to day

We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.

Myth: Cold weather makes you sick
Reality: Shared indoor air does
❄️ Cold ≠ illness
🦠 Viruses spread fastest in indoor, poorly ventilated spaces

• Wrap up warm
• Don’t fear the cold
• Prioritise ventilation + filtration

While fresh air is good, trying to clean the air chemically is not. The atmospheric chemistry community has been saying this for a long time; the best ways of cleaning indoor air is physical removal (filters/sorbents/air exchange).
New air cleaner paper! @airqing.bsky.social challenged an oxidation-based cleaner with an air freshener, and saw tons of chemistry. In particular, ethanol (a common ingredient in cleaning products, and ubiquitous indoors) oxidized to form acetaldehyde and formaldehyde.

Paris shows what happens when cities put people before cars: cleaner air, greener streets, and healthier lives. The data (and the air) speak for themselves! 🌱🚶‍♀️🚴
“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”

Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life.

Common sense.

Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.
Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.

The fight to limit global warming is the defining challenge of our time.

Success will be measured not only in degrees, but in homes spared and lives saved.

In Paris, I spoke about how cities have proven themselves to be the climate doers while national governments have dithered.

Here’s a school seeking to improve attendance from within, by cleaning the air for staff and students.

Please help them by donating (even if it’s a small amount, it all helps) and by sharing.

As in the 19th century, does your child's school have:
- high ceilings to increase room volume?
- high windows for continuous ventilation?
- large windows for better ventilation?
- Opposite openings for air circulation?
- All windows open outwards to improve ventilation?

A new study shows that air cleaners can reduce up to 98,1 % of viral load in the air of a #COVID patient's room with confirmed positive airborne viral RNA.
Rooms with HEPA ventilation had zero virus detected.
