A Pan***ic Play #ThatCovidLife #CovidIsNotOver

🧵

One sweaty workout can release as many bodily chemicals as five people sitting still 😳 Gyms can have high levels of airborne pollutants. Stay safe by choosing well-ventilated spaces, monitoring the air, using air purifiers, & letting your gym know you care about clean air. 🌬️💪 📖: bit.ly/4dLGeSL

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...

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.

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

Today is World Ventilate Day! Whilst we mainly focus on air filtration here at Air Library Scotland, ventilation is also a crucial layer of clean air provision and airborne disease mitigation. Have a look at World Ventilate Day's 2025 resources to learn more about the importance of ventilation!

Check out our air purifiers in action at @tagsfest.co.uk this weekend and chat to us if you're interested in borrowing yourself!

To make sure our vulnerable community members can still attend and enjoy TAGS Fest, we encourage you to wear a mask when you visit! Thank you to @edinmaskbloc.bsky.social & @airlibraryscotland.bsky.social for helping us make TAGS more accessible. 🦫 linktr.ee/edinmaskbloc 🦭 linktr.ee/airlibrarysc...

The Mayor of @london.gov.uk has today launched a new £2.7 million programme to deliver air purifiers to hundreds of schools across the capital, bringing cleaner air to tens of thousands of children in their classrooms. A very inspiring initiative with the support of @smartairuk.bsky.social . 👍

Looking to buy an air purifier? Want to help support community clean air resources in the process?   When you use our affiliate link, we receive a 10% donation for purchases over £40. This helps us pay for necessary maintenance, such as replacing filters. Thanks again to @smartairuk.bsky.social !

Happy Autumn! It's time for another event roundup 😊 Come say hi to us at @tagsfest.co.uk or @lighthousebks.bsky.social's Radical Book Fair, which are also supported by @airlibraryscotland.bsky.social, come to our crafting session or enjoy some of the many other covid safer events!

On Tuesday, two of our junior clean air advocates stepped into Conference Room 4 at the United Nations in New York. With their schools’ full support, they joined the historic event, Healthy Indoor Air: A Global Call to Action. #AirClub #HealthyIndoorAir

We believe clean air should be accessible to all 🌿 We’re so excited to support @breatheeasysheffield’s initiative to rent out air purifiers for free across Sheffield. If you’re in Sheffield or have an upcoming event there, you can rent a purifier. 👉https://bit.ly/3VC0E9g

Meet the Trotec AirgoClean® 140E, generously gifted to us by a community member! As this model has a lower CADR, we recommend it for smaller spaces such as a hotel room, bedroom or a home office. Request form linked in bio!

Arthur's Seat is on fire and since Scotland doesn't have as much of a culture around dealing with wildfires, a small PSA: If you are near wildfires (close enough to see / smell smoke), close your windows, run an air purifier if you have one, and avoid being outside unnecessarily - or wear a mask!

I made a bold claim this spring, if you recontextualize the 2022 CDC mortality data and look at the root cause of mortality, **the #1 killer in the US stuff you breathe**. Clean air leads to better health, including lower blood pressure. www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/...

Up next is the SA600 (3-speed version), the second of our donations from @smartairuk.bsky.social This purifier is ideal for larger living spaces, classrooms and meeting rooms. Try it for yourself using our request form!

Meet the Smart Air Blast Mini, kindly donated by @smartairuk.bsky.social This air purifier is ideal for larger spaces such as arts venues, social clubs and offices. You can hire the Blast Mini for yourself or your organisation by filling out our request form!

Obi (professional napper and air quality connoisseur 🐾) has officially ‘lab’ tested two air purifiers for cool, filtered air on a hot day and he’s chosen the Blast Mini as the top dog. #LabTested #DogApproved #StayCool

We've already got several bookings for the next few months, but there's still some availability in August, whether you're visiting for the Fringe, running a show, or trying to avoid the festivals entirely to keep safe Request a purifier now: cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/for...

We'll soon have one of these available to borrow alongside our air purifiers While air purifiers don't remove CO² and so don't impact readings, a monitor like this can show when additional ventilation is needed to achieve good air quality

Why a CO² monitor? While it doesn't measure harmful substances like specific pollutants or viruses, they can't linger as long in a space that is well ventilated. High CO² = breathed out virus particles aren't moved out of the space & risk of infection is higher

Trotec has an incredible deal for a CO² monitor right now! It requires mains power and weekly calibration, but if you've been looking to have one in your home/workplace and can't afford a portable model like the Aranet, this might be for you! Link for UK & EU shipping en.trotec.com/shop/bz25-co...

No excuses now Edinburgh event organisers!

We believe clean air should be accessible to all, and we’re so excited to support Air Library Scotland’s initiative to rent out air purifiers for free across Edinburgh. If you’re in Edinburgh, you can try one out and breathe cleaner air for yourself. Check it out! @airlibraryscotland.bsky.social

We're excited to announce we're now ready to take booking requests for air purifiers in and around Edinburgh! Anyone can borrow & loans are free. Many thanks to @smartairuk.bsky.social for donating a SA600 and a Blast Mini, enabling this initiative! Request form: cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/for...

Tornadoes devastated many areas of St. Louis & we are mobilizing to provide DIY air filters to combat “Tornado Lung,” a serious respiratory threat. We are committing $2.5k and raising another $2.5k. Please share & donate: tinyurl.com/CRFSTL2025 In partnership with @maskblocstlouis.bsky.social

"We have the tools to reduce the number of infections in schools, but we are simply not using them properly, or at all." We have issued this press release in response to the "highly alarming" school absence figures (from 2022-23) released yesterday by the Minister for Education.
