ohio clean air coalition

In our session, we will demystify key aspects of improving indoor air quality in the interest of maintaining disability justice in our collective spaces. Participants will leave the workshop with hands-on experience building air purifiers as well as technical knowledge.

On a steamy purple and pink image of clouds the text reads “Ohio Clean Air Coalition presents Against Abandonment: DIY Approaches to Clean Air Justice. Friday, July 4, 5:00pm - 6:30pm CST. See you at socialism 2025!”

We are thrilled to be presenting at this year’s Socialism Conference on Friday, July 4th from 5-6:30pm CST/6-7:30pm EST.

This event will be a hybrid event! Register and access directions and materials lists at bit.ly/ohiocleanair

On a purple background, an image of an Osom COVID antigen home test has the following text above it: “If you received Osom rapid COVID tests through the now defunct HHS program, even if the expiration date has passed, take a look at the testing components and check their expiration dates. Your tests may still be current!”

Image of the expiration date on the back of the Osom rapid COVID test of 5/31/25, the expiration date of the buffer liquid of 10/31/25 and the expiration date of the pouched testing device of 5/31/25.

Image of the expiration date on the back of the Osom rapid COVID test of 6/30/25, the expiration date of the buffer liquid of 11/30/25 and the expiration date of the pouched testing device of 7/31/25.

Image of the expiration date on the back of the Osom rapid COVID test of 7/31/25, the expiration date of the buffer liquid of 1/31/25 and the expiration date of the pouched testing device of 8/31/26.

If you received tests from the now closed federal HHS program that provided bulk orders of free rapid COVID tests, these Osom tests may look familiar. They may have expiration dates of 5/31/25, 6/30/25 and 7/31/25. BUT, the testing components inside the box do not expire until later in the year!

Hi all,

H5N1 is starting to spread globally, it will reach every part of the world.

With spring migration about to begin, the virus will spread even faster through the air and infected animals.

The risk to wildlife, livestock, and humans is growing.

Some people didn't know they had a bird flu infection, study of veterinarians suggests A new study shows the bird flu has silently spread from animals to some veterinarians. It echoes two smaller studies that detected evidence of infection in previously undiagnosed farmworkers.

A new study shows that #birdflu has silently spread from animals to some veterinarians. In three studies, several of the infected workers remembered having symptoms of #H5N1 bird flu, while none of the veterinarians in the new paper recalled any such symptoms.

On a day like this, it’s important to say THANK YOU to all the science and public health communicators for all you do. Your work will be even more critical in the coming years. Keep going! You are very much needed and appreciated. ❤️

Something you can do to stand against RFK jr’s attempt to make us all sicker is wear a mask when you share air with others. Resist mask bans. People who cannot afford to get sick have a right to exist in public. Masking will protect your health from him too.

"We're on the verge of potentially another pandemic and we're firing the people who have probably more expertise than anyone else in the country collectively.”

Why do we provide air purifiers at no cost?

#cleanair #cleanairclub

What is one simple act of resistance that will absolutely infuriate any authoritarian determined to make the world ignore pandemics and climate change?

Wearing a mask.

Purple gradient background with the TEMPO Music and Arts Camp logo in the center with the words "Our Purifiers will be at" above the logo. An image of a white N95 mask with red head straps is to the bottom left of the TEMPO Music and Arts Camp logo and an image of a white KF94 is to the top right of the logo. At the bottom there are images of four different air purifiers, from left to right there is an image of an AirFanta 3Pro purifier, a Lorell HEPA 420, a Levoit Core 300 and a BlueAir Blue Pure 411a Max purifier. These purifiers are available to loan out from the Ohio Clean Air Coalition via the link in the profile bio.

We're proud to be lending purifiers and providing masks to TEMPO After Dark, a music & arts camp for women, trans, & nonbinary adults. Friday, January 10th — Sunday, January 12th!

The future of excess mortality after COVID-19 | Swiss Re The future of excess mortality after COVID-19

Once again, the people who study risk for insurance companies (whose bottom lines depend on accurate understandings of pandemic-related excess mortality) are pointing out that we're looking at 10 more years of covid and covid-related deaths.

There are over 400 million people living with Long Covid today, and many millions more living with ME/CFS.

Pick one or two from this list and make it happen!

The CDC recognizes that taking steps for cleaner air is a core prevention strategy to lower risk from respiratory viruses such as Covid. These are simple methods we can implement to help protect people's health and safety. Check out the link in our bio to borrow a purifier!

One CDC study showed a remarkable 48% reduction in Covid transmission in schools that combined air filtration with opening windows.

In front of the nose and mouth is a cluster of spiked circles representing COVID-19. "People who are infected with COVID exhale particles that contain the virus.

The digital illustration shows the air purifier intaking air that contains spiked circles representing COVID-19 and blowing out clean air through fans on the top. "The particles can also linger in the air after a person has left the room -- they can remain airborne for hours in some cases. Air purifiers, when used properly, can help to remove these particles from the air before they can accumulate. Source: CDC (n.d.). Taking Steps for Cleaner Air for Respiratory Virus Prevention.

Why do we provide air purifiers at no cost? Because studies show that the spread of airborne viruses can be significantly reduced through the use of air filtration as a layer of protection in addition to other mitigations such as masking. (1/3)
