Last week was pretty wild. I had the unbelievable opportunity to speak at the UN Headquarters during #UNGA on why indoor air quality is an accessibility and inclusion issue for people living with chronic health conditions.

A busy week ahead!

Filtration reduces PM in wildfire smoke, air pollution, & airborne infectious disease (RSV, influenza, COVID-19, and norovirus). It should be a no-brainer to filter indoor air before you breathe it. Air pollution is the 2nd most deadly health risk worldwide. www.healthdata.org/research-ana...

This Trans Awareness Week we're also thinking about how trans allyship can also look like the ways we keep each other safe from COVID-19. What are some of the ways you're helping to keep your trans community safer and healthier?

The Safer Air Project advocates for Federal recognition of IAQ as an accessibility issue, national IAQ standards, & a whole-community IPC approach. With ACIPC, the project urges the CDC to prioritise IAQ & IPC. For more information click the link below: www.acipc.org.au/acipc-suppor...
