We’re co-hosting a Space with @publichealthaction.bsky.social on November 13th at 8p EST. The discussion will cover new findings showing multiple ways COVID can promote oncogenesis, the process that can lead to cancer. Featuring @molesen.bsky.social!

Promotional poster for an event titled “Oncogenesis and COVID-19” organized by the Public Health Action Network (PHAN) and Air Support Project. The background shows a microscopic image of cells in red and blue tones. The event is scheduled for November 13, 2025, at 8 PM EST on X Spaces. The description explains that COVID-19 may promote oncogenesis (cancer formation) by disrupting immune function, triggering chronic inflammation, and altering cell-regulating pathways such as p53 and Rb, potentially increasing cancer risk. It invites viewers to listen to the conversation or email to suggest a speaker.

For those who want a quick recap on epidemiology:

It was plumbing that ended the cholera epidemic, not drinking sewage over and over to strengthen everyone's immune system.

So that's why I built this thing. It's the new hygienic infrastructure that we need to get our lives back.

The climate crisis has brought #cleanair into the public eye, with disasters bringing noxious elements into the air.

How do you keep yourself safe when #COVID19 and #wildfiresmoke make both indoor and outdoor air hazardous? Read our blog to find out!

airsupportproject.com/indoor-air-q...
“A Dual Disaster Plan: COVID-19 and Wildfire Smoke” Adjust HVAC Settings: Upgrade to MERV-13 filters; set HVAC to ON mode; recirculate indoor air. Add HEPA Purifiers and CR-Boxes: filter wildfire smoke and SARS-CoV-2 Safe Indoor Spaces: designate a smoke-free room and a separate COVID-19 isolation room; avoid outdoor ventilation; mask in common areas. Activities: avoid outdoor activity; change masks and clothing; choose indoor low-risk activities like board games, movies, phone or video calls. Respirators: use N95, KF94, or KN95 outdoors and with non-household or exposed members; pediatric sizes available for ages 2 and up. Ventilate When Air Quality Improves: when the Air Quality Index shows safe levels, open windows or use mechanical ventilation. Prepare Ahead: stock N95 respirators, MERV-13 HVAC filters, and portable filtration devices; consult a healthcare provider about COVID-19 medications and emergency symptoms.

Summer is here, and with it comes the risk of heat exhaustion and heat stroke! If you are spending an extended period of time outdoors this summer, be sure to bring plenty of water, wear light, loose-fitting clothing, wear sunscreen, and know the signs of heat illness!
Infographic describing the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Heat Exhaustion - Faint or dizzy - Excessive sweating - Cool, pale, clammy skin - Nausea or vomiting - Rapid, weak pulse - Muscle cramps - Get to a cooler, air conditioned place Heat Stroke - Throbbing headache - No sweating - Body temperature above 103 - Red, hot, dry skin - Nausea or vomiting - Rapid, strong pulse - May lose consciousness - CALL 911!

When cleaning up from the aftermath of a hurricane, the airborne risks posed by floodwaters, mold, chemicals, and other debris are often overlooked. We are re-sharing our blog on how to secure your home's air quality during hurricane season

#cleanair #hurricane #flooding #mold

tinyurl.com/y2jft5va
Flooding Tips For Your Home Secure Your Home - Reinforce windows, doors, and roofs to withstand hurricane-force winds. Install storm shutters or board up windows with plywood. Prepare for Flooding - Use sandbags and other barriers to redirect water away from your property. Elevate electrical appliances and store valuables in waterproof containers. Evacuation Planning - Develop a clear evacuation plan. Know your local routes and prepare for an emergency kit with essentials like water, food, and first-aid supplies. Air Quality - Place generators outside, away from windows, doors, and vents. Use air purifiers with HEPA filters to improve indoor air quality. CO detectors can help keep you safe. Deal with Floodwaters Safely - Avoid contact with floodwaters, which can be contaminated. Clean and dry your home quickly to prevent mold growth. Ventilate your home and use fans to dry the area.

Wildfire smoke can infiltrate homes through standard ventilation, making it hard to breathe inside your own home! Learn how to protect yourself by creating a smoke-free space!

#cleanair #wildfiresmoke #wildfire #smoke #infographic
Infographic – “How to Create a Wildfire-Smoke-Free Space.” Choose a Space - It should be big enough to fit everyone in your household, including pets, and comfortable enough to spend time in. A bedroom or living room with an attached bathroom is a good choice. Stop Smoke from Entering - Close all windows and doors in the room. If there is an exhaust fan or range hood in the clean room space, only use it for short periods. Use caulk or weatherstripping to seal any cracks or gaps in the windows or doors. HVAC Settings - Turn your HVAC system to the "ON" setting so that it constantly recirculates and filters the air. Upgrade your HVAC filters to MERV 13 or the highest MERV rating that is compatible with your system. Create you own Smoke-Free Space - When the Air Quality Index (AQI) is high, everyone benefits from a smoke-free space. It's especially important for individuals at greater risk from smoke exposure. No one should breathe toxic wildfire smoke. Although it is good advice to reduce exposure to wildfire smoke by sheltering indoors, smoke can infiltrate indoor spaces, so it is important to take action to improve indoor air quality (IAQ) Filter the Air - Use a portable air cleaner that is the right size for the room. Run the portable air cleaner continuously on the highest fan setting if you can. You may opt for a do-it-yourself (DIY) air cleaner known as the Corsi-Rosenthal Box. Plan for Activities - Plan for WFH, online school, and fun activities like movies, games, and reading books to make the time spent indoors more enjoyable. Avoid smoking, candles, or cooking. Respirators - If smoke enters the room or you need to go outdoors, wear an N95 mask or appropriate well-fitting respirator for wildfires. When outdoor air quality improves to safe levels, as can be assessed by the Air Quality Index (AQI), then we encourage you, once again, to ventilate your home by opening windows and/or using the mechanical ventilation to exchange indoor and outdoor air.
