Square graphic with a dark blue/gray background. Top left reads “whn.global”; top right reads “Clean Air.” Large tilted green banner headline: “Ventilation” isn’t just opening a window. Below, a CO₂ monitor screen shows 811 CO2 ppm with status Normal, time 13:54, and POA 84. Other readings on the screen: 36 (Noise, dB), 44.1 (RH, %), 3 (PM2.5, µg/m³), 24.0 (Temp, °C), 3 (PM10, µg/m³), 93 (eTVOC, VOC Index). Bottom text says: “Although that helps, real ventilation is about airflow: how much clean air moves through a space. More clean air means a safer space. CO₂ monitors show if fresh air is flowing — or if it’s time to do more.” Footer: “World Health Network - Science for a safer, healthier world.”
Ventilation plays an important role in preventing airborne infections. Opening a window helps, but real ventilation is about consistent airflow. CO₂ monitors can give a simple signal of how much shared air is building up indoors.
Share to help raise awareness. 💨🌿

I know, my friend,
that you already have
more than enough reasons
to wear a mask
and use an air purifier,
but considering that
the “EPA is allowing
coal-burning power plants
to release more
heavy metals like mercury,”
you now have
even more reasons.

This must be some strange use of the word “beautiful” with which I have not previously been familiar…because the reality of this thread is downright fugly.

My aunt, the doctor,
told me a new joke.
She asked:
Why are so many people
eager to become
robots these days?
I said I did not know.
And so she answered:
Because they believe
once they are robots
they’ll finally stop
getting sick all the time.
And then neither of us laughed.
My friend, the historian,
told me her students
are currently nostalgic
for 2016,
and when she told them
“things were bad
back then too”
they apparently replied
“yeah, but not this bad,”
and in response
my friend, the historian,
just gave her students
a sigh and a nod.

As the meeting began
the convened looked around
and with confusion asked
“why are two of you masked?”
but before I could reply
the other masked person
began coughing
and coughing
and while still coughing
they left the room,
and the convener
just nervously looked at his notes.
A new study finds
if you want to protect yourself
from Alzheimer’s
you should practice
cognitive speed training,
and considering
that a recent study found
“Long Covid linked
to Alzheimer’s disease mechanisms”
if you want to protect yourself
you should also practice
wearing a mask.

Imagine a world where all live entertainment venues are equipped like this:
"Positive Deviance [a music collective] has continued to put on events roughly once a month...precautions include a mask requirement, Pluslife-tested performers, #FarUVC technology, and air filtration."
#VirusFreeAirNow
Hospitals, schools, workplaces & public indoor spaces that aren’t using HEPA filtration & far UV light to clean the air of Covid & other viruses are harming you, setting you & your kids up for chronic illness, disability, disease, early death. Protect yourself, no one else will! Wear fitted K/N95 😷
18.02.2026 03:20 — 👍 18 🔁 6 💬 1 📌 0According to research
on how long diseases
“linger in the air—
after an infected person
has left the room,”
measles can linger for two hours,
and the flu for one,
Covid can linger for three hours,
and norovirus for two,
so if you are lingering
in a room for hours:
wear a mask.
I’m completely exhausted… but hopefully at some point this week I’ll share my thoughts on this… and I’m really hoping this is just the start of the work ahead…
C19 isn’t over is the most obvious finding, and it’s floating around even before the wave really gets going…
So we need to get solving.

Who’s going to be left to work in hospitals when most nurses, doctors and staff aren’t able to work due to Covid health issues in a decade? We’re repeatedly infecting kids and young people in school who might go into healthcare too. And Covid is increasing number of regular folk needing healthcare 😞

I saw a headline
which ominously noted
“Prehistoric killer superbug
discovered
in 5,000-year-old ice
is resistant
to 10 modern antibiotics,
study warns,”
but do not worry
for it is in ice,
so you only need worry
if that ancient ice
starts to melt.
Hearing that @ipaccanada.bsky.social once again deliberately has nothing about air quality and airborne transmission at their annual conference. Unconscionable.

Dunning-Kruger'ed a bunch of people to death and covered it up."
