Photograph of an air spot wearable air quality monitors showing CO2 PPM1031

Similar air spot wearable air quality monitoring device with CO2 readings of 728ppm

Various indoor readings -from the readings in the first example it looks like more windows need to be opened.

Ventilation can reduce CO2 levels and insure healthier air.

Enduring Outcomes of COVID-19 Work Absences on the US Labor Market This cohort study examines the extent to which COVID-19 continues to generate work absences and decrease labor force participation beyond the pandemic period in the US.

Workforce absences and losses are greater now. Study finds that C19 has created a new year round baseline for work absences that is similar to Flu season before the pandemic; policymakers should expand interventions to address the negative impacts of C19 on workforce

Mayor of London invests £2.7m in air quality filters for schools to clean up air in classrooms

Research has found that PM2.5 levels in classrooms with HEPA filters were between 27 and 68 per cent lower compared to those without.

Air pollution increases the risk of developing asthma, lung cancer, heart disease and stroke, and there is growing evidence that air pollution exposure increases the risk of developing dementia.

"I want every single child to breathe clean air in and around their school. In those vital early years, the difference this can make to young people’s health and wellbeing can be lifechanging. " - The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan

The Mayor of London's rollout of HEPA filters in classrooms to improve air quality for children in schools shows real vision, leadership, and concern for children's health and wellbeing. Hopefully, it isn't long before Irish politicians recognise the numerous benefits of this policy.

Why the next generation of mRNA vaccines is set to be even better mRNA vaccines are quick and easy to make, while virus-like nanoparticles produce a stronger immune response. Now, the two approaches are being combined to give us the best of both worlds

whereby the limited pool of responding CD T cells becomes overactivated in an effort to maintain immune homeostasis.

This, in turn, could lead to suboptimal germinal center reactions
and, consequently, lower antibody levels and reduced SARS-CoV-2 neutralization
capacity. Moreover, the observed activation of T, B and NK cells may reflect a compensatory mechanism in response to these diminished CD4 T-cell responses,

The findings suggest that an
inefficient innate immune response, characterized by a reduced capacity of APC to
migrate to secondary lymphoid tissues and inflamed tissues, may result in diminished
CD T cell responses.

In conclusion our study provides a comprehensive characterization of the innate and
adaptive immune responses in CYP with and without LC.

For gods sake reduced CD4 T cells in children with long covid

The concept of ‘Immunity debt’ is being debunked by emerging evidence

‘Immunity disruption’ is the concept now due to unusual increase in infections even in children born after lockdowns.

SARS-CoV-2 is linked to “an unusually high level of ‘indiscriminate’ killing of T cells

Closing classroom windows does not cut air pollution, study finds Tests conducted at 500 sites show particle pollution exceeded health guidelines on 6% of school days

A very valuable study. The impact of air cleaners on indoor particulates (29% reduction) to me seems worth their not excessive costs. Or at least they could be used to provide safer indoor spaces for vulnerable children on days with high outdoor concentrations. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
