On Tuesday, two of our junior clean air advocates stepped into Conference Room 4 at the United Nations in New York.

With their schools’ full support, they joined the historic event, Healthy Indoor Air: A Global Call to Action.

💜 Protecting others is kindness.💜

Kindness isn’t abstract. It’s wearing an N95 on the train. It’s staying home when sick. It’s sending a message to the friend who’s still housebound with Long Covid.

CO2 readings have come in already all the way from Australia! This is excellent air quality 🙌. The higher the CO2, the harder it is to concentrate and focus. The air quality in this office is conducive to being able to concentrate and get work done! ☺️ #FridayAirday #CleanTheAir

Governments have been urged to establish mandatory indoor air quality performance standards and a transparent national system of monitoring and reporting, including universal workplace monitoring and the visible display of real-time indoor air quality data.

Soon I will focus on a crucial topic for our industry: How Global Open Air Quality Standards Help Accelerate Decarbonization.

IAQ & energy efficiency are often seen as competing goals, but I'll be sharing insights on how synergistic strategies improve building health & drive down carbon emissions.

🚸🧵 The rush to deploy AI-generated attendance targets across England’s schools risks treating symptoms, not causes. We’re aiming for “pre-pandemic” normal when many pupils still carry the legacies of it.

2,796,380 teaching days are lost to sickness absence in England

£222 is spent per pupil on supply teacher costs

That’s 3.91% of all teaching costs per student

Yet clean air costs less than the price of a pizza per child, per year

Spending on the foundations i.e. here health, saves money. Also less children off sick means better education and parents not missing school due to childcare issues.

We really valued joining the World Ventilate Day panel on Engineering Healthier Indoor Environments. The discussion on effective ventilation resonated - these are the same challenges we hear from parents and teachers regularly.

The @adstandards.bsky.social has found claims made by the Stove Industry Association about wood burning stove emissions to be "misleading and unsubstantiated".

A huge thank you to @sianberry.bsky.social for championing clean air throughout the House of Commons Committee Stage of the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill. 👏

This Bill is a real opportunity to ensure that Metro Mayors prioritise reducing #AirPollution and its harm to our health.

The Department of Education itself admits COVID and Long COVID are likely to have a long-term impact on children’s education.

Where is the public health information?

Every child deserves clean, safe air in school
