💥 NEW: Colorado is the 1st state to mandate air quality warnings on gas stoves. 🧪 Lots of good science backs this law. Gas stoves emit many air pollutants, including benzene, linked to heart disease, asthma, and leukemia. Burning fossil fuels inside your house is dumb. www.cpr.org/2025/08/07/h...

Also see the great study by Mesburis et al. (@jljcolorado.bsky.social and @gouwlab.bsky.social), which used some different approaches but arrived at the same conclusions. Air cleaners (legit ones) work, and enable other technologies (like GUV) to be used more safely. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

"Clean Indoor air is a gap in our public health frameworks. We need to close that gap."

Such amazing work!

"By having real-time data, you can make smart, targeted, strategic investments in your school buildings, especially when resources are limited." Sensors are not enough. You need experts too.

"We have the tools. What we need now is the collective will to act. To mandate indoor air quality performance standards that effectively reduce the risk of exposure to pathogens and pollutants." "So accessible indoor air becomes the reality in all public spaces everywhere."

"We all breathe the same air, but not with the same consequences. For people with chronic conditions and other risk factors, unsafe air means unsafe spaces."

CVF are proud supporters of the other important event at the UN today highlighting the need for "Clean Indoor Air". It is of vital importance to *everyone*, but especially for Clinically Vulnerable people. Thank you @drbronking.bsky.social 💙💜💗

"Clean air for every child in every classroom is a right, not a privilege." "This is why for Montenegro, improving air quality in schools is not a secondary concern. It is a fundamental responsibility. A matter of safeguarding the next generation." 👏👏👏

In the UK, young children have been denied Covid vaccines (even unavailable privately). Children currently in year 4 and above were the last to be offered any doses, and very few took them up. This year, even Clinically Vulnerable children will be denied access to any Covid vaccines.

"Something as simple as breathing in shared indoor spaces has become a barrier to accessibility and inclusion for millions of people, and it's time to change that!"

Boston schools 👏👏👏 Leading the way since 2020. They invested in IAQ sensors in every classroom across the district.

clinicallyvulnerable.org/donate Thank you - your support means so much!

🚨 CVF has launched an urgent appeal. Please don’t scroll past - donate if you can and share this post if you can't. CVF needs support now. Share widely 🙏

🔎 Who can spot CVF? We are proud to say that we (you) signed the 'Global Pledge for Healthy Indoor Air' at the UN the other day. Well done, you! 👏👏👏 HT/ @luckytran.com

Masking up and advocating for clean air at #UNGA w/ Violet Affleck and @myrabatchelder.bsky.social!

The Safer Air Project are thrilled to be a part of ‘Healthy Indoor Air: A Global Call to Action’ to be held at UN Headquarters next week, a unique opportunity to elevate global awareness about the importance of indoor air quality. Bookmark the free livestream 🔗 bit.ly/un-hia

“Clean indoor air is one of the lowest-hanging fruits to drive immediate and lasting change. By ensuring the air we breathe indoors is healthy and safe, we can deliver transformative benefits for public health and wellbeing.” A/Prof Suman Majumdar,
Chief Health Officer, Burnet Institute

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.” Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

Please support our call for Covid boosters for those whose lives may be at risk this autumn / winter. It takes a couple of mins to help SAVE LIVES 🙏 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

300,000 air change measurements?! Classroom air change averaged 3.0/h (about required), but varied significantly: between schools, within each school and within each classroom throughout the year. Great work from @patriciafabian.bsky.social's group. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New from me: An exclusive interview with David Suzuki, who talked about reaching the conclusion that humanity has failed in the fight against climate change, and why communities should start preparing for more destructive natural disasters #cdnpoli #cdnenviro www.ipolitics.ca/2025/07/02/i...

In a sample of 28 #LongCovid patients, and controls, people with LC showed PET hypometabolism and EEG slowing patterns in anterior brain regions. The study sheds further light on neurological and brain issues following SARS-CoV-2 infection www.nature.com/articles/s41...

When it comes to climate change, the number of amplifying feedback cycles far outweigh the dampening ones. But here's one in the latter category! Eating more meat -> higher GHG emissions -> more climate change -> more meat allergies -> lower GHG emissions More by @olliemilman.bsky.social here:

It was a real pleasure to speak to @airqualitymatters.bsky.social about our recent #ImpAQS report on air quality in #Austrian #schools, and the wider implications of this study for the future of ventilation and air quality in schools everywhere. shorturl.at/FAoGy www.airqualitymatters.net/podcast

Fast charging battery-powered trains took a step closer to running on the railways after a report into west London trials found they work, and work rather well in fact. www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/gwr...

Correction to the headline here. It's not the reports that have disappeared - it's the globalchange.gov websites themselves. The reports are still available buried in the NOAA archives. NCA5 is here: repository.library.noaa.gov/view/noaa/61...

People bike more when there are protected bike lanes. Also, the ocean is wet.

Strong words today from @sianberry.bsky.social, introducing the #CleanAir Human Rights Bill (Ella’s Law). “We must work more widely in the transition to clean heating, cleaner transport & cuts in pollution from aviation, farming & industry. The second best time to do the right thing is always now.”
