Governments have been urged to establish mandatory indoor air quality performance standards and a transparent national system of monitoring and reporting, including universal workplace monitoring and the visible display of real-time indoor air quality data. Via @croakeynews.bsky.social

An excellent article by Amanda Kvalsvig and Anna-Maria Arabia, with contribution by Dr Bronwyn King AO, highlighting the reasons that indoor air quality matters more than ever, and how to translate the evidence into meaningful action. theconversation.com/why-investme...

Why investment in clean indoor air is vital preparation for the pandemics and climate emergencies to come
Unchecked airborne infections cost billions in lost health and productivity each year – likely more than the cost of better ventilation to clean up indoor air.

Last week was pretty wild. I had the unbelievable opportunity to speak at the UN Headquarters during #UNGA on why indoor air quality is an accessibility and inclusion issue for people living with chronic health conditions.

Filtration reduces PM in wildfire smoke, air pollution, & airborne infectious disease (RSV, influenza, COVID-19, and norovirus). It should be a no-brainer to filter indoor air before you breathe it. Air pollution is the 2nd most deadly health risk worldwide. www.healthdata.org/research-ana...

Air pollution
Air pollution affects millions of people worldwide. Both household and outdoor air pollution pose severe threats related to cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, cancers, and other conditions.

In the latest episode of Good Will Hunters Dr Bronwyn King AO continues, 'These are people who are either very young, very old, people with asthma, people who are suffering from cancer, people who have a whole range of co-morbidities - or the people they live with.
Accessibility and inclusion is a concern at the moment. There’s a lot of people out there who are particularly at risk of airborne diseases who don’t feel safe in workplaces, they don’t feel safe going to school.’ Dr. Bronwyn King AOSpecial Advisor for Clean AirBurnet Institute

This Trans Awareness Week we're also thinking about how trans allyship can also look like the ways we keep each other safe from COVID-19. What are some of the ways you're helping to keep your trans community safer and healthier?
Title that reads: Being a trans ally looks like: protecting trans people from COVID-19 with a small cartoon trans flag above.This Trans Awareness Week, we encourage you to think about the ways you can keep the trans people in your life and in the wider community not just safe from transphobic harm, but also from physical harm.

There is growing evidence that COVID-19 affects marginalised communities at higher rates, including trans and gender diverse people, however as fewer people and spaces engage in regular protections against COVID, the burden on trans people to advocate for their own health increases.
This kind of allyship can look like:

Wearing a N95-or-higher rated mask in situations where there is a risk of infection, whether or not there are trans people present

Opening up a conversation with your trans friends and family how you can help keep each other safe from COVID or other illnesses

Stay home from work, parties, or other social events if you are feeling unwell or have been around anyone who has felt unwell in the past 10 days

Speak up and advocate for clear air protection and other precautions at LGBTQ+ events, services and spaces.
As we observe Trans Awareness Week and head into the holiday season, we encourage you to think about what an holistic allyship could look like – advocating and fighting for one another’s right to not only exist, survive and thrive as our most affirmed selves, but as our healthiest and longest-living selves too.

What change can you make to improve the safety and health of trans people in your community?
