Massachusetts, you're next!

H2427 would mandate the creation of regulations for indoor air quality assessments.

It's reasonable, and more importantly, aims to create regulations to protect vulnerable populations in schools, nursing homes, correctional facilities, public housing, and more.

Today, Georgia Lagoudas and I, along with partners at AAFA, ALA, and SMART testified in support of an IAQ bill for schools in Rhode Island (in our personal capacities).

We need legislation on the state and federal levels across the country. Let’s get to work, folks!

R.I. should lead by example and prioritize clean air in our schools - The Boston Globe We need a law that pushes schools to engage in basic indoor air quality investments, which would benefit students, teachers, and the community.

Article out today in @bostonglobe.com with @ashishkjha.bsky.social on cleaner indoor air in RI schools.

Because clean indoor air:
🍎 reduces absenteeism
🍎 improves student test scores & mental health
🍎 prevents respiratory disease
🍎 decreases impacts of asthma

"While many priorities compete for attention in school construction and renovation, few have a more profound and lasting impact than improving indoor air quality."

Great piece by @ashishkjha.bsky.social and Natalie Kopp making the case for healthy schools in RI
