Ireland, take note #SpéirGorm

Nothing makes me stop paying attention quicker than hearing or reading 'I asked ChatGPT...'

Because I have FOMO being unable to add live readings of the CO2 concentrations in my environment today for @cleanairie.bsky.social #FridayAirday ; here's one of the best readings I've ever recorded with an @airspothealth.bsky.social CO2 monitor I borrowed from a friend for my travels in October.

👀 Irish data centres are now using 22% of all electricity generated in Ireland, more than all urban homes combined & drawing an unquantified amount (lots) of Ireland’s water capacity Could AI demands be related to recent push to fast-track infrastructure, side-step safeguards & reduce court access?

Various indoor readings -from the readings in the first example it looks like more windows need to be opened. Ventilation can reduce CO2 levels and insure healthier air. #FridayAirDay #CleanTheAir @cleanairie.bsky.social

Soon I will focus on a crucial topic for our industry: How Global Open Air Quality Standards Help Accelerate Decarbonization. IAQ & energy efficiency are often seen as competing goals, but I'll be sharing insights on how synergistic strategies improve building health & drive down carbon emissions.

When the government decided to let COVID-19 loose, they decided at that exact same time to do two things. Make life difficult and lonely for elderly and disabled people. Kill elderly and disabled people by playing dress up and pretend it’s 2019, because we want to be “kind”.

It should be a national scandal that the official government excuse for not recognising COVID-19/ Long Covid as an occupational illness is because community transmission is now so prevalent. This is an admission of failure and abandonment of public health. The repercussions will be felt for decades.

Failure to formally recognise Covid-19 as an occupational disease places the continued delivery of long-term sick payments needed by so many workers on a precarious footing. We support ICTU in their calls to formally classify Covid-19 as an occupational disease. www.ictu.ie/news/governm...

Ireland remains among a small number of EU Member States that have not formally recognised Covid-19 as an occupational disease or injury, contrary to recommendations from the European Commission and the International Labour Organisation (ILO).  #CleanTheAir

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

“Who knows how many children I & my friends would have with [secure high quality affordable housing] certainly enough to maintain pension-paying workforce. Govt’s strategy of pinning pension hopes on migrant workers is short-sighted & a tragedy for Irish women” 💯 www.irishtimes.com/opinion/lett...

What a mystery it is that so many can’t work. Might it be long COVID 🤦‍♀️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Fix IPC!

Covid is spread through the air. It lingers in the air like smoke, often for hours in poorly ventilated buildings. To prevent long covid numbers from increasing, we must reduce the spread of covid infections. We must improve ventilation in our shared buildings and clean the air. #CleanTheAir

We are immensely proud of CAAI member Lydia Fischer Dooley, Long Covid Advocate and Campaigner, for speaking openly and publicly about how a repeat Covid infection changed her life. #CleanTheAir

There are a wide range of institutions (including several major climate advocacy groups) encouraging "responsible" and "ethical" use of generative chatbots, eg 'checking outputs' This only worsens the harm: the people most compelled to trust ChatGPT are also the least likely to check.

Tom Hanks explains to Stephen Colbert why he masks on the subway: "I'm doing a play right now so I cannot get sick... I've had COVID enough in my life, I don't need to do that again. So I'm wearing this for health reasons." Thank you Tom! Masks are still a key part of public health.

Professor Lidia Morawska received the Australian Prime Minister’s Top Prize for Science, for “pioneering research about the air we breathe” Pivotal work to confirm the airborne mode of COVID-I9 transmission Lead to the WHO updating its public health guidelines. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Israel is fully supported by the European Union. It should really put up those Sponsored by the EU signs in the territories.

Given what scientists know about COVID-19 now, it's surprising that it isn't being given the same status as TB. It's spread through the air, it can cause chronic illness, neurovascular disease, and immune system damage. Why do we accept the casual spread of this virus for ourselves and our children?

I cannot agree more! The cost of making all vaccines free will be completely offset by lives saved and all the morbidity & hospical costs averted Why All Vaccines Should Be Free @crof.bsky.social thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

“Housing tsar will control €3bn budget and be paid more than €200,000 a year” .. €3bn budget & we have people looking to remove our systems of control & oversight of public spending (OGP), payments to politicians (SIPO) & access to information (FOI)? Just no www.businesspost.ie/politics/hou...

Imagine reading “Surgeon General wanted, detailed knowledge of anatomy is helpful but is not a requirement where candidate can quickly acquire an understanding of surgery, anaesthetics, pharmacology & acute hospital management” #Housing Tsar job description:

I appreciate Andrew Nikiforuk at @TheTyee for highlighting the continuing science of COVID and the importance of prevention. The virus keeps reshaping health and society — we can still choose to act wisely. thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

The most frightening thing is that 42 million people including children don't have access to reliable food supply in the wealthiest country in the world, never mind assistance.

As we spend 90% of our time Indoors - Did you know-The person who manages your building has a bigger impact on your health than your doctor? did you also know that the majority of your exposure to outdoor air pollution can occur indoors? healthybuildings.hsph.harvard.edu/research/ind...

Break the Irish tradition of keeping windows shut so as not to let the heat out, think of the ghosts! Crack open the windows to get some nice cross ventilation going and exorcise your home of all the indoor pollutants while you're at it! #oícheshamhna #happyhalloween #cleantheair #cleanairforall

Gates’s argument mirrors modern society….a false separation between human welfare and ecological stability. Poverty and disease only grow on a dying planet. apnews.com/article/bill...

The average person spends up to up to 90% of their day inside. 1 in 10 adults live with asthma. For many people that time may be spent in an indoor workplace. That’s why the air quality (IAQ) at work is a major concern for people with asthma /allergies allergyasthmanetwork.org/indoor-air-q...

The US is really trying to colonize Ireland via tech companies/ lobbies and thank God Irish people have caught on and are fighting back

Polluted indoor air - harmful particles, gases, chemicals, infection-spreading aerosols, mould spores, etc - is a key driver of ill-health yet largely ignored. Delighted our founder @salwitcher.bsky.social is a Commissioner for this landmark global initiative healthandcare.scot/stories/4307...

If covid is now also a 'seasonal' illness we face alongside flu & rsv, why has @hselive.bsky.social made it nearly impossible for children to get a booster? I've been asked if my child is immunocompromised & told otherwise a GP letter is required. Since when is gatekeeping vaccines public health?

🔴 Another avoidable tragedy has unfolded in the Mediterranean, as a boat carrying people shipwrecked near the coast of Tunisia, claiming the lives of 40 people, including several infants. This is the result of the EU's migration policy. bit.ly/3JdudLO

Among other things, this is clearly a disability rights issue. All patients should have safe access to healthcare. Healthcare workers should have access to safe workplace environments. #cleantheair #Áras2025

🚨 study: #Healthcare workers face high SARS-CoV-2 exposure in patient rooms, 89% had detectable virus levels. Greater attention must be given to treating & managing rooms to reduce airborne viral transmission toward healthcare workers #Cleantheair www.journalofhospitalinfection.com/article/S019...

& yes I shared strategies for protecting nursing homes in autumn 2020, & I too think a lot about the thousands of people who died subsequently in nursing homes —when we had very simple strategies to protect them that were ignored & denied & yes, health authorities still haven’t changed their advice

Shocking that ~still~ people in senior positions of govt don’t know that airborne respiratory infection is preventable.. or that in 2020 we had the knowledge to safely allow visits to nursing homes, & it was ignored We are woefully unprepared for future pandemics www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-n...

Ventilation lessons for clean air from 1911 #aras25

Boris Johnson trying to rewrite history suggesting that he didn't have advice of long covid in children, when he had - disgraceful ➡️ Currently 110,000 children in the UK have long covid (and 1.9 million adults) ➡️The NHS has set up over 100 specialized Long COVID services costing £314 million

“From Mexico to Ireland, Fury Mounts Over a Global A.I. Frenzy In Ireland data centres consume more than 20% of the country’s electricity… authorities have limited new data centers in the Dublin area because of “significant risk” to power supplies” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/10/20/t...

Rising outdoor CO2 levels make it harder to correct indoor CO2 levels by ventilation alone air quality everywhere matters www.livescience.com/52619-indoor...

It was found that schools located in areas with the highest air pollution levels had the lowest attendance rates For schools already in existence, it was recommended that their environmental quality should be investigated and improved if necessary

“When you have a disability people can’t see, you don’t get the same level of empathy. It feels like the world has moved on.” It’s shameful how society is gaslighting people who are experiencing chronic illness and ignoring an ongoing public health crisis.

Actually, attacks on expertise and science is a hallmark of authoritarianism - so much so that the poem should go, ‘ First they came for experts but I did not speak up’ 🎁article www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/s... 🧪

Children should not be risking cardiovascular damage from repeat infections. We need immediate action today. www.escardio.org/The-ESC/Pres...

The report from the European Society of Cardiologists is clear, we all need vaccine protection. No one should be pushing so called natural immunity.
