Also good for home furnaces. 1-inch Filtrete 1900 (MERV-13) has a lower pressure drop than most MERV-8 filters due to its high density micro-pleats. It's a quality product, best 1" filter available.

CO2 and PM2.5 monitoring helps us understand the quality of the air we're exposed to indoors and outdoors. They also inform us about the strategies to mitigate exposure, such as wearing an N95, running an air purifier, closing windows and doors, and using MERV13+ furnace filters. #cleantheair

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable. Earth and Moon in one NASA photo. ht @astrokatie.com
Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. This view shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth. Ian Regan processed this version of the image to account for the Moon's motion. NASA / NOAA / Ian Regan

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.

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...
Alt text: Graphic with dark blue background and gradient lines reading “PROGRESS WORTH CELEBRATING.” Main heading in bright pink says “GOOD NEWS:” followed by white text: “Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan has invested £2.5 million in air filtration, as part of The Schools Filter Program. Over 200 schools are involved, with those with poorer air quality and higher deprivation prioritised. Khan sees this as a social justice issue. PM2.5 levels are 65% lower with filters and offer greater protection from airborne viruses, leading to higher attendance and prevention of Long Covid.” Long Covid Advocacy logo with gradient hand at the bottom.

The area burned in the Canadian 2025 fire season has hit 5 million ha. Third active fire season in a row that combined has burned 7% of the Canadian forest. Currently we have 346 fires out of control (192 monitored out of control (OC) and 154 OC that are being actioned) so expect the number to rise.

Starter packs can still be a really good thing when we’re trying to grow a community here, like the city-building and urbanism community. Use responsibly, but please consider creating and sharing your own.

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.

I reiterate - once again - updated COVID vaccines are not available for Canadians at this date. It’s like the 3rd doses that they withheld all fall from the general population and finally gave in Jan. I wrote extensively about this and yet, here we are again. I’m beyond furious and simply sad.
