Air Club A global coalition aspiring towards healthy indoor air.

Not sure if the canary pins will be made widely available at some point (I hope so!) but you can keep an eye on www.airclub.org

The organizers of the UN event for healthy indoor air used a canary on all their materials and gave everyone canary pins.

Why? Canaries detect dangerous substances in the air of coal mines. We all need to be like canaries and warn about the dangers of unhealthy indoor air due to COVID and climate.

Yesterday, history happened at the UN: For the first time hundreds of orgs signed a global pledge declaring that healthy indoor air is a human right.

Healthy indoor air is a key tool for preventing pandemics, building climate resilience, and increasing health equity. We need it everywhere!

In France, 7 of the 11 mandatory vaccines concern airborne diseases. They are so effective that we had forgotten that many viruses and bacteria are transmitted through the air we breathe.

These DIY air purifiers could make clean air more accessible during wildfires Homemade air purifiers can filter air faster, making them an affordable alternative to more expensive commercial products.

Thanks to Amudalat Ajasa for this story about the significant benefits of CR Boxes for wildfire smoke particles and other indoor aerosol particles (including virus-laden respiratory aerosol particles, pollen, mold, particles from cooking, etc.).

The role of carbon dioxide in airborne disease transmission: a hidden key to safer indoor spaces

โ€œOutdoor COโ‚‚ levels are around 421ppm but in crowded or poorly ventilated spaces, indoor levels can easily exceed 800ppm. Thatโ€™s the tipping point identified in the study, where the air starts allowing droplets to maintain a lower pH increasing the survival time of virusesโ€
