The Conservative government has had 5 years to #CleanTheAir in #OntEd schools. Ford has prioritized alcohol over student learning conditions, again and again. We deserve a government that will finally prioritize our kids. Props to @chandrapasma.bsky.social for her advocacy.

Pandemic money was meant to clear the air in Ontario schools. Did it work? Where did the funding go?

Doug Ford’s government touted its investments in indoor air quality in schools during the pandemic, but there’s little proof of how it will help with climate change impacts

If governments and organisations attended to indoor air quality, we’d be less reliant on masks to prevent transmission of respiratory infections.

This is important info 👇 If you bought an off-the-shelf HEPA filter, you need to check if you're getting the right level of air filtration out of it.

Air Cleaner Recommendation Tool
Purpose of this Tool
This tool helps you determine how many portable air cleaners you need and at what fan speed to run them, based on the size of your room or the number of people in it. The goal is to achieve the recommended cleaner airflow levels that can reduce the risk of spreading airborne microbes like SARS-CoV-2 in poorly ventilated indoor spaces.

Emergency department visits for kids ages 5-17 for respiratory viruses are trending up in Virginia on the most recent update. Schools started back just a few weeks ago, this shows how important it is that we clean the air in schools. Cleaner air will result in less infections.

So here's a tip for you that use humidifiers. We just did an indoor air quality test with our @atmotube.com monitor. With tap water, the air was "severely polluted" With our reverse osmosis water it was on the edge of good/moderate. There's a reason they suggest using distilled water.

It’s Friday. Some students are not looking forward to time away from school. Maybe the weekend equals a lack of food, a lack of safety, or a lack of caring adults. Expect some unexpected behaviours. Stick to regular routines as much as possible today. Be gentle with yourself and others.

Great to hear this happening in New Brunswick. ASHRAE Standard 241 is an engineering standard that sets minimum requirements for indoor ventilation to prevent disease transmission. It's time for every province to do the same.
