COVID messaging is fading but the virus isn’t. The data keeps warning us, yet without clear guidance on ventilation, vaccination, and indoor risk, people navigate blind. Treating the pandemic as over weakens readiness for the next one. Honest communication and resilient data systems are essential.

🌀 Indoor air quality, research stuck in silos. Authors call for integrated teams across engineering, epidemiology, & aerosol science to study real‑world transmission, build shared language, & drive practical, scalable interventions that cut airborne disease risk. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Yesterday, the WHO European Region said people continue to develop Long COVID after new COVID-19 infections. “In the lab, COVID is a Level 3 biohazard. In schools, it's no big deal. I don't think you can reconcile those two statements” - Colin Furness, infection control epidemiologist

Ventilation plays an important role in preventing airborne infections. Opening a window helps, but real ventilation is about consistent airflow. CO₂ monitors can give a simple signal of how much shared air is building up indoors. Share to help raise awareness. 💨🌿 #CleanAir #CO2Monitor #Ventilation

Harm from C 19 continues. Who is doing what? We’re grateful for responses to our open letter from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 & 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Education Ministers & look forward to continuing dialogue. Meanwhile 100’s of 1000’s have now viewed our article: The 5p Solution. Appetite for practical action is clear.

Would you like to put a poster up in your area to raise awareness about #WoodBurning? We've got some left from our Clean Air Night campaign and would hate for them to go to waste. For more info and to order: bit.ly/m4l-canposte...

In case of interest to you, @craigbennett3.bsky.social, and the possibility of linking the #GreeningToolkit with all regional @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social - SAS's founder @natpearson.bsky.social spoke to Liz Bonnin about 1 key aspect of this, at RNN march. @richardbenwell.bsky.social

This seems like more of an obvious fight to have than getting worked up over social media.

1/ Vote won! Victory 🎉 New statutory guidance mandating allergy safety in schools has been passed. This means legal protection for children with allergies. A truly historic day. #BenedictsLaw #SafeSchools #Allergy

Generations of pupils have learned in stuffy classrooms filled with recycled air, but a Hampshire school is now breathing new life into the way lessons are taught. The impact of installing HEPA filters has been striking. Poke @safeairschoolsuk.bsky.social www.portsmouth.co.uk/education/th...

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...

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.

The event may be over, but the real work is just beginning. Our mission is to carry this momentum forward—to continue educating and influencing key decision-makers on the profound impact of indoor air quality on public health, productivity, and equity. #IndoorAir

When I was 3 I caught measles, it was before the vaccine was available. I was okay if not very well. The little girl over the road from me was 6, and she died from it. #GetVaccinated #MeaslesCanKill

🤦🏻‍♀️ Seeing that we don’t have a cure for this yet… perhaps we should put even the suggestion of an effort into preventing it?

Dr. Ciara Steele, GP, CAAI representative and clinical researcher on PEACE-Air, an SEUPB funded PEACEPLUS project, attended the project launch in Letterkenny on Friday. We are so proud of her flying the flag for clean air, and healthy indoor air in particular. #PublicHealth #CleanAirHumanRight

🧵

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

Happy to support this call for cleaner and safer indoor air in schools @safeairschoolsuk.bsky.social Children's wellbeing deserves the utmost attention from policymakers. Cleaner air, including from viruses such as SARS-CoV-2, can contribute significantly to better health

We welcome this leadership. Our letter to UK education ministers, backed by national organisations, charities, public health experts and senior MPs calls for the same practical action. Boston shows what is possible when indoor air quality is taken seriously. The UK is asking for action.

Founded by our air quality expert @seetheair.bsky.social GO AQS has bought together researchers, practitioners & policy specialists to discuss indoor air quality as a public health issue Short clips from the webinars are now shared on the GO AQS Linked In, perfect for holiday viewing 👏🏽 Link below

Really pleased to see government recognition that indoor air quality affects health. However, there remains a clear gap between recognition & action, particularly for schools & children who are medically vulnerable. We already have the solutions.

We are pleased to sign this petition ✔️ Anyone who advocates for clean air can do so, we don't need to be in 🇨🇦 #StrongerTogether

Air filters clean air so that young lungs don't have to. They cost less to run per child per year than the glue sticks you'll replace. This was noted in the letter we sent to the education ministers of the four nations earlier this week. We look forward to a response.

We are grateful to Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle for supporting our letter and for seeking clarification on air quality in schools, in the House of Lords. The letter is fully referenced with current evidence. We hope it helps drive meaningful attention to this issue.

Clean air in schools benefits the whole community. Research shows 70% of household Covid infections started with a child. Guess it’s the same for other airborne infections. Fix schools, and we reduce illness everywhere. Thank you for working so hard towards this.

Thank you for supporting pupils, teachers, and our letter to the education ministers of the four nations. #England #NorthernIreland #Scotland #Wales

Safe Air Schools has written to the education ministers of the four nations. The letter is endorsed by a growing number of organisations, experts, and supporters with sincere thanks to all.

How new science, real-time monitoring, and smarter engineering are reshaping school air quality – and what it means for kids’ health and absenteeism. A very good summary article on Indoor Air Quality in Schools. www.achrnews.com/articles/165...

As the early surge in the so called “super flu” further stresses health care systems across the UK, a GP and co-founder of Clean Air Advocacy Ireland is calling for officials to better communicate that flu can be spread through the air. www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-n...
