Today is the last day of our Smart Air campaign. Until midnight, for every ten SA600 air cleaners sold through it, Smart Air UK donates one in kind to us. Thank you to everyone who bought through it this week. go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/rVPxdej #CleanAir #SA600

A review in Pediatric Research (27 Aug) found just 3 studies globally have properly tested indoor air against children's thinking or behaviour. A shocking lack of research into this area. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #CleanAir #IndoorAirQuality

Our partnership with Smart Air closes on 30 September. Until then, for every ten SA600 air cleaners sold through this campaign, Smart Air UK donates one in kind to us. If an air cleaner has been on your list, these are the final days. go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/rVPxdej #CleanAir #SA600

Nine days left. The mechanic behind our Smart Air partnership is simple: buy ten SA600 units, one is donated to us in kind. Real air cleaners reaching families and settings who could not otherwise afford one. #CleanAir #SmartAir go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/rVPxdej

A short autumn checklist: service the boiler, sweep the chimney if you use one, air the bathroom and kitchen after cooking or showering, check your air cleaner's filter. Our SA600 sponsorship with Smart Air UK ends in 11 days. #CleanAir go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/rVPxdej

If you are responsible for air quality decisions in a school, office or public building, two acronyms are worth knowing. CADR is how much clean air a unit delivers per hour. ACH is how many times the air in a room is fully replaced per hour. #CADR #ACH go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/lDBUoiH

A week of real office monitoring: indoor CO2 spiked to around 1,400ppm on occupied days against a flat 416ppm outdoors. Indoor PM2.5 twice crossed the WHO guideline while outdoor stayed low. One office, one week, a useful snapshot. #IndoorAirQuality go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/lDBUoiH

A 2026 review of UK classroom studies found portable air cleaners with air filters reduced PM2.5 by up to 48% and PM10 by up to 57%, though results varied. Filtration is one practical layer for cleaner classroom air. go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/Sp2QOuv #CleanAir #IndoorAirQuality

SAMHE analysed 38,000 school days of air quality data from 346 UK schools. Among its recommendations: update school air quality guidance so it focuses on good ventilation and good air quality. Worth a read as the new term starts. go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/vhzgJ98 #CleanAir

Open a window is good advice most of the time. It is harder on a main road, in a noisy street, in a ground floor flat, or in January. Filtration covers the hours when ventilation cannot. go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/JNmW9Xo #CleanAir

Scented candles, plug-in fresheners and spray cleaners all release volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, into the air of a room. A fresh smell is not the same thing as clean air. go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/JNmW9Xo #CleanAir

Perhaps a better approach would have been to establish if, where and at what level air cleaning makes a difference. Only then ask what level of intervention people actually consider practical. #CleanAir #AirFiltration #AirQuality #PublicHealth

crboxfoundationuk.bsky.social @crboxfoundationuk.bsky.social · 29/07/2026
Our response to COVID differs from our response to the common cold, which differs from our response to a bad flu season. What people consider practical depends very much on what they're protecting themselves against.

crboxfoundationuk.bsky.social @crboxfoundationuk.bsky.social · 29/07/2026
There's no information on whether, or how, the researchers tested their assumptions about what is pragmatic and practical. We know what the majority considers pragmatic and practical varies with the level of perceived need.

According to carehome.co.uk, the average UK care home caters for around 47 residents. The list of participating care homes is published. We don't know how many rooms each has. But on this figure alone, there appears to be potential for incomplete air-cleaner coverage.

crboxfoundationuk.bsky.social @crboxfoundationuk.bsky.social · 29/07/2026
Additionally, each care home could receive a maximum of five air cleaners for communal areas and 16 for private rooms.

crboxfoundationuk.bsky.social @crboxfoundationuk.bsky.social · 29/07/2026
Compliance was self-reported. Figures of 96%+ are impressive, but they remain self-reported rather than independently verified.
140
crboxfoundationuk.bsky.social @crboxfoundationuk.bsky.social · 29/07/2026
Baseline ventilation also wasn't measured. If these care homes were already well ventilated, adding low-intensity air cleaning wouldn't necessarily be expected to have much effect.

crboxfoundationuk.bsky.social @crboxfoundationuk.bsky.social · 29/07/2026
For infection control, commonly cited air change rates are 4-6 ACH, and can exceed 12 ACH for some diseases in some settings.
192
crboxfoundationuk.bsky.social @crboxfoundationuk.bsky.social · 29/07/2026
This delivers relatively low levels of air cleaning. In a 60m³ lounge, a 160m³/h CADR can provide an absolute theoretical maximum of just under 3 ACH. In a 30m³ room, 60m³/h can provide an absolute theoretical maximum of 2 AC

crboxfoundationuk.bsky.social @crboxfoundationuk.bsky.social · 29/07/2026
Air cleaning was deployed at low intensity. 160m³/h CADR in communal areas and 60m³/h in private rooms. These settings followed manufacturer guidance and were chosen for reasons of practicality. (More on that later.)

crboxfoundationuk.bsky.social @crboxfoundationuk.bsky.social · 29/07/2026
First, the study doesn't prove what some people might think it does. It doesn't prove that air cleaning doesn't suppress the airborne transmission of infections.

We've been asked to comment on this study: go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/Y2lU9eB⁠ No disrespect, but the researchers seem to have tested air cleaning below commonly cited infection-control levels, based on untested assumptions about practicality. 🧵 #CleanAir #AirFiltration
