Happy #WorldVentil8Day to all life on the planet! Let’s do what we can to THRIVE, not just survive. #CleanTheAir @cathnoakes.bsky.social @onschoolsafety.bsky.social @theresisters.bsky.social @coopspeak.bsky.social

It’s #WorldVentil8Day! 🌬️ Clean indoor air is a fundamental pillar of school safety. Effective ventilation drastically reduces the spread of airborne illnesses (flu, RSV, COVID) and is crucial for maintaining healthy Ontario classrooms. #OntEd #SchoolSafety #CollaborateToVentilate

It's almost world ventil8 day! Check out the great progress happening in Canada from our very own @mjnabuurs.bsky.social 😊 👏👏👏 #WorldVentil8Day #WV8D #Collaborate2Ventilate

Here is @onschoolsafety.bsky.social’s letter from April of this year to the Ontario govt (we wrote them one last year as well) letting them know there was more they could be doing: www.ontarioschoolsafety.com/updates/open... #VaccinePlus #MeaslesIsAirborneToo #WeJaveTheTools

Canada is leading in safety with the new draft of the CSA standard on respirators. @dickzoutman.bsky.social, @juliamwright.bsky.social, @mark-ungrin.bsky.social, and I explain key updates that bring protections up to date with the evidence on respirator use against airborne disease transmission.

Thank you, #AbbottElementary! Looks like you understand #IAQ 👏🏻👊🏻! (Hubby and teen said it could have been me playing that part 😆) /1

Here's a recording of my 10-minute presentation about addressing shared indoor air as an accessibility barrier in our learning environments. Feel free to share! youtu.be/HD0wVoN7Pr8

Great to visit St Mary’s Primary School in Battersea today - one of the first schools to receive indoor air quality filters as part of my initiative to improve children’s health. More than 200 schools will be getting indoor air quality filters soon.

Change is inevitable. Sometimes it’s good change. ospe.on.ca/advocacy/pol...

Vaccines are vital. But they are not enough at this pace. Need to employ a #VaccinePlus strategy as @onschoolsafety.bsky.social reco’d to Ontario’s govt back in April, because #MeaslesIsAirborneToo: www.ontarioschoolsafety.com/updates/open...

That’s right they did!!! Let’s go, #Canada!!! ospe.on.ca/advocacy/pol... @barryhunt008.bsky.social @ukhadds.bsky.social @onschoolsafety.bsky.social @coopspeak.bsky.social @theresisters.bsky.social @cancovsoc.bsky.social #IAQ #KnowBetterBreatheBetter

Some good news 🥳 The first phase of installing air filters in all London schools is underway. 🙏 Thank you to @london.gov.uk & all campaigners involved #cleanair is possible! More info 👇 www.london.gov.uk/media-centre...

This makes me happy! Great initiative by @london.gov.uk & team. At least 200 schools across London will receive HEPA filters. We need to properly evaluate this -in relation to both PM2.5 & airborne infections- to help a wider effective implementation. #LongCovid www.london.gov.uk/mayor-invest...

Many things will affect how well a student will do in school. Some you can control, others you can't One that affects every student (and teacher), and that we can control, is indoor air quality In this video I walk through how and offer some solutions t.co/sSU5efGhHr

"After a second infection, young people were 3.6 times as likely as those infected once to develop myocarditis... They were 2.8 times as likely to experience changes to taste and smell, 2.3 times as likely to develop blood clots, and nearly twice as likely to develop heart disease or kidney damage."

We are very honoured to have been part of Healthy Indoor Air: A Global Call to Action - the inaugural High-Level Side Event on indoor air quality which took place on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly this week.

check this out In an unprecedented step toward safeguarding public health and planetary well-being, 170 global leaders from public health, academia, civil society, building science, real estate and industry announced today at the UN the formation of the Global Commission on Healthy Indoor Air.

⚡Please watch this powerful, emotive & furious speech by Violet Affleck at #UNGA80 She rightly states that for children there has been a neglect of the highest order, even though we have the tech "Our present is being stolen in front of our eyes" 👉Clean Air is a human right

Today is #WorldLungDay #WorldLungDay2025! Let’s go, #CleanAir #IAQ advocates, let’s help anyone paying attn to this day learn about the low-hanging fruit for optimum indoor air! firsnet.org/world-lung-d... #Ventilate&Filter #MaskUp #LungHealth @onschoolsafety.bsky.social

“Covid is not benign in children. In January, a review highlighted the wide-ranging impact of long-Covid on children and adolescents, including persistent respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological, gastrointestinal and psychological symptoms.”

The 🎙️🎙️ have been quiet for a bit but our commitment to convos about pub health & education, human rights, air quality, and combatting mis/disinfo, has never slowed. Excited to share the behind the scenes prep for our upcoming podcast, “No Ostriching Here.” 😁😁! www.instagram.com/reel/DOnPFee...

Thanks for sharing that article, @onschoolsafety.bsky.social! Evidence just keeps piling up: #CleanAir is the way: bsky.app/profile/mjna...

A baseline AND a human right! Listen to our @theresisters.bsky.social interview with Dr. Lidia Morawska where she says it herself: youtu.be/njMSMOUxfGA?...

Looking for another compelling reason to prioritize clean indoor air? “Exposure to the airborne particles causes proteins in the brain to misfold into the clumps, which are hallmarks of Lewy body dementia, the third most common form of dementia after Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia.”

Look at this! Workers are embracing the importance of clean indoor air for health and productivity. “Clean air is no longer a perk; it’s a baseline.” @cupescfp.bsky.social @michaelhurleycupe.bsky.social @osstf.bsky.social @etfoeducators.bsky.social @osbcupresident.bsky.social @otffeo.bsky.social

Had a great convo w host, Noelle, of @voicesoflcovidpod.bsky.social about indoor air quality in schools, some reasons for why it hasn’t yet been fully embraced, the many +ve ripple effects of having it, and the low-hanging fruit to make whatever difference we can: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/v...

Absolutely thrilled that Clean Air for Kids is a supporting partner at this event happening at the United Nations in New York. Clean Indoor Air is a human right!

Back to school means back to poor indoor air quality for our kids in Ontario’s schools and school buses. Indoor air quality has been shown to affect mental well-being, academic performance, and school attendance. These door hangers could serve as a helpful reminder that it’s time to clean the air.

School starts tomorrow for many. Approximately 1 in 74 people in Ontario currently has COVID. If those were the odds for a lottery, I’d be buying several tickets, but this isn’t a lottery worth winning. Masks work, insist on open windows & filtering the air/HEPAs.

Reminder as kids head back to school next week: There are over 4800 schools in Ontario. We do not know the indoor air quality status in any of them. #OntEd #OnPoli

Love to see the chickens and birds get funding for better air quality to stop the spread of HPAI in BC. Now where’s the prioritization of this kind of funding to stop the spread of illness in schools before our kids return to school next week? iafbc.ca/novel-tools-...

Season 2: Episode 10. Clean Air in Schools this Wednesday

Aaaannnnnnndd, it’s out! My conversation with the amazing Noelle of the @voicesoflcovidpod.bsky.social podcast is available. Hope it helps in some small way. #CleanTheAir #StopTheSickness #LongCovid #LongCovidKids

🎯🧵 by @rogergustafsso2.bsky.social (on Twitter) about #LongCovid in kids 🚨🚨🚨 Full thread here: threadreaderapp.com/thread/19467... #LongCovidKids #Covid

👀 Can’t wait to listen!

“It is so critically important to raise this awareness that children of all ages, even infants and toddlers, can experience long COVID. It’s going very under recognized and unsupported. We need to really all work together, families, health care and schools, to support these children.”

👇 This is a timely and important article as September approaches. With the impacts of #LongCOVID in kids (+adults), we must address airborne transmission in the places they are required to be by the ON Govt: Schools + on the bus! This means: 😷 Respirator masking (eg CA-N95) 💨 Clean indoor air

“Experts believe children are about as susceptible to developing long COVID as adults. While Canada has no PCC reporting system for children, reports suggest six million children have been affected by the condition in the U.S. Cheung notes these numbers likely underestimate the scope of the illness”

Childcare facility in Toronto, ON. Fun! Can we PLEASE recognize the need for better ventilation & air quality in schools & childcare facilities. Grateful to have had respirator on. No hepa filters running. Windows sealed up. I’ll compare another room this afternoon. Building reno maybe impacting.

In Ontario, Canada, @onschoolsafety.bsky.social tried to get govt and Public Health to adopt a #VaccinePLUS strategy to reduce spread. The science and data are there for it…but no takers: www.ontarioschoolsafety.com/updates/open...

@onschoolsafety.bsky.social understood this was an issue - it’s one of the many reasons we pushed for a #VaccinePLUS strategy back in April (oh, and last year also): www.ontarioschoolsafety.com/updates/open... At this point, it’s hard to not see inaction as #PurposefulNegligence.

Autoimmunity in Children Post-COVID: A Silent Risk johnsnowproject.org/primers/auto...

“In assuming control of the school boards, the province is now “directly responsible to protect student health at these schools, and they have a duty to show parents how they’re going to get lead out of school drinking water,” said Mutis, a CELA community outreach worker, in an interview.”

📣 The same argument can be made for cleaning the air indoors! 📣 It protects the most vulnerable from infectious disease/irritants and ends up helping everyone avoid illness, improve productivity, academic perf, mental health, workplace/school attendance & more! www.instagram.com/reel/DMYMf11...

🚨 5.8 million children in the US with #LongCovid Authors of the recent RECOVER study state 10-20% of children are being affected. This now surpassed asthma, which was the most common chronic condition in kids. With many unrecognised & unsupported 🗞️🖇️ tinyurl.com/3d2mc435

"Long COVID is common, affecting up to 10% to 20% of children with a history of COVID-19. With almost 6 million US children potentially affected, this is higher than the number of children with asthma, the most common chronic health problem in children."

Long COVID is now the number one chronic illness afflicting children, surpassing asthma. Yet we're refusing to use tools that could prevent recurrent infections in kids, like clean air or Far UVC, preferring to repeat propaganda about COVID's harmlessness www.thegauntlet.news/p/long-covid...
