Have you ever wondered how high CO2 can rise in a room as you sleep? Thanks to this submission from an individual who monitored their child's bedroom last week, we have some insight. #FridayAirday

After blasting the heat in my car to demist the windscreen while travelling through hail storms and wind, navigating around trucks blown over on the side of the road; I was pleasantly surprised to see how good the air quality was at my dentist appointment this morning! #FridayAirday #CleanTheAir

It's that time of the week again! #FridayAirday

Thanks to The Irish Farmer's Journal & @rosalindskillen.bsky.social for giving voice to the plight of people living with Long Covid. We owe enormous thanks to @LCAIreland.bsky.social and the brave people struggling with this disease who have shared their stories to warn us of the risks of COVID-19.

@UCC.ie is leading the way in Ireland by launching the very first Air Quality Monitor Lending Program in the country. Students and staff at UCC can now borrow a Qingping Pro 2 Air Monitor to assess their environments. Further details available here: libcal.ucc.ie/equipment/it...

A fascinating study recently published in the journal 'Environmental Science & Technology' has found that routine hair styling causes air pollution and exposure to ultra fine particles in concentrations that rivals sitting in heavy traffic. #CleanTheAir www.sciencefriday.com/segments/ind...

A lucky @aranethome.bsky.social owner in Ireland shared this excellent CO2 reading from their bedroom, which has been unoccupied all day. This is ideal for a good night's sleep! #FridayAirday

The CO2 ppm is high for being in a playground beside a river. The playground is beside a road that enters a village. Between HGVs and homes burning solid fuels to stay warm, the CO2 is higher than the ~420ppm you would expect as a baseline level. This would be a great indoor reading. #FridayAirday

This is a screenshot for #FridayAirday from my @airspothealth.bsky.social reading so far. The window has been open through the night & all morning. Co2 levels started rising once neighbours started burning solid fuel. The air quality in the West of Ireland massively deteriorates in cold temps.

This is a reminder that tomorrow is #FridayAirday! Help us create awareness of the importance of indoor/outdoor air quality by capturing an image of your CO2 monitor in whatever contexts you want to share. #CleanTheAir

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.

Governments have been urged to establish mandatory indoor air quality performance standards and a transparent national system of monitoring and reporting, including universal workplace monitoring and the visible display of real-time indoor air quality data. Via @croakeynews.bsky.social

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

Wetter, windier & warmer also puts pressure on existing building standards, that may not be adequate for new climate conditions

CO2 readings have come in already all the way from Australia! This is excellent air quality 🙌. The higher the CO2, the harder it is to concentrate and focus. The air quality in this office is conducive to being able to concentrate and get work done! ☺️ #FridayAirday #CleanTheAir

Red spikes coincide with driving through Sydney harbour tunnel on way to work and back. Usually have windows open when driving car except for in tunnels. It was only me in car yet it still fascinates me how quickly CO2 levels rise in the car with air con recirculating. #FridayAirDay #CleanTheAir

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

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

"The majority of human exposure to air pollution occurs indoors, where people spend around 90% of their time. Air pollution negatively affects human health and wellbeing, accessibility of spaces, and the economy". www.science.org.au/supporting-s... #TheSaferAirProject #CleanTheAir

As #WorldVentil8Day 2025 is only 3 days away here’s a little reminder of some ventilation tips I gave last year 👇

It’s #WorldVentil8Day 🌬️ You cannot fix what you cannot see. Start by monitoring your air. Open windows when you can, and if you have an air purifier, turn it on to help filter and clean the air. #IndoorAirQuality #CleanAir #IAQ #WorldVentil8Day

This #WorldVentil8Day reminds us that the air we breathe is a shared resource, and the fight for healthy air for all is a collaborative effort. Air doesn't discriminate, but too often building standards do. We must act for vulnerable people who can't advocate for improved ventilation by themselves.

If you don’t measure it You can’t fix it Mandated air quality monitoring and standards in all indoor spaces is important But is ESSENTIAL in childcare where children’s lungs are more vulnerable to toxins as they are still developing sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The world learned a painful lesson during COVID; respiratory infections are airborne. This changes a great deal - especially the need for better indoor air quality and high quality masks. If there was a single most important person responsible it was Prof Morawska. www.abc.net.au/news/science...

#COP30 kicks off this month in Belem, Brazil. Wiith #AirQuality high on the climate agenda, discussions will focus on impacts of #AirPollution on both the environment & public health. Explore key #CleanAir events shaping global action as highlighted by @cleanairfund.bsky.social 👉 bit.ly/4on8yQz

COVID-19 remains unrecognised as an occupational illness in Ireland. The argument is that it's too difficult to prove an infection source, as COVID-19 is so pervasive in our communities. This is an admission of failure and not a justifiable excuse. #cleantheair #cleanairforall

The Mayor of London's rollout of HEPA filters in classrooms to improve air quality for children in schools shows real vision, leadership, and concern for children's health and wellbeing. Hopefully, it isn't long before Irish politicians recognise the numerous benefits of this policy. #cleantheair

In awe of the team at Clinic Nineteen treating adults & children for long COVID & related diseases. COVID infection is commonplace in the community & repeat infections increase your chances of getting LC so do your best to avoid infection. Indoor air quality is key. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

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

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...

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...

Antimicrobial resistance is a huge problem worldwide where antibiotic utility is reduced due to pathogens becoming resistant in some cases to multiple antibiotics. This has been exacerbated in recent tears by empirical use of antibiotics for undiagnosed respiratory infections .

🚨 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...
