canary pins on the lapel of a suit
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.

7 vaccines for Airborne Diseases :
Morbillivirus (Measles)
Mumps virus
Rubivirus rubellae
Bordetella pertussis (Whooping cough)
Corynebacterium diphtheriae
Streptococcus pneumoniae (Meningitis)
Haemophilus influenzae de type b (Meningitis)
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.).

Air filters in classrooms reduce sick days by more than 10 per cent
Putting air filters in classrooms seems to boost student attendance, which may be due to them reducing levels of air pollution, pollen, pathogens or all three
By Michael Le Page
11 29 April 2025
Using independent, third party data Safe Air Schools has also evidenced that commercial air filters can be provided per child, per year for less than the price of a pizza.

Photo of a small comic book. Cover reads "Clean Air in Your School and Everywhere!" and shows a cartoon drawing of a Corsi-Rosenthal Box with a face, plus two children dressed as super-heroes, all flying through the clouds.
Instructions on how to fold the comic into eight segments. A small cut is then made in the centre of the longest cut, allowing the entire sheet of paper to be folded into an 8-page booklet, or 'zine.
Our new #CleanAir for Schools 'zine is ready! This pocket-sized comic is ready now as a FREE download on our website: linktr.ee/cleanairbcsc... Just print, fold, cut! (see attached instructions) And give them out to everyone! ๐ We are actively seeking translators, please DM!

The role of carbon dioxide in airborne disease transmission: a hidden key to safer indoor spaces
โOutdoor COโ levels are around 421ppm but in crowded or poorly ventilated spaces, indoor levels can easily exceed 800ppm. Thatโs the tipping point identified in the study, where the air starts allowing droplets to maintain a lower pH increasing the survival time of virusesโ

Dรกil air is filtered while our children continue to get sick at school
The proportion of children chronically absent from school has doubled since we removed airborne protections and pretended the pandemic was over. Picture: Larry Cummins
Research now shows over 70% of Sars-CoV-2 household transmission started with children in schools.
5 years on from Covid's arrival what are we doing about airborne infections?

St Helens and Warrington air quality monitors have 'dramatic' effect
Families in St Helens and Warrington can use the monitors to check for air pollution in their homes.
"It's clearly having a dramatic and positive impact on the health of young children, with reduced need for inhalers and fewer hospital visits recorded by parents and guardians."
