@UCC.ie is leading the way in Ireland by launching the very first Air Quality Monitor Lending Program in the country. Students and staff at UCC can now borrow a Qingping Pro 2 Air Monitor to assess their environments.

We have taken our indoor air quality for granted for too long, despite spending 90% of our time indoors. Removing pollutants from our environments through air purification and reducing consumption is key, as ventilation can't eliminate exposure to these ultra fine particles completely. #CleanTheAir

A fascinating study recently published in the journal 'Environmental Science & Technology' has found that routine hair styling causes air pollution and exposure to ultra fine particles in concentrations that rivals sitting in heavy traffic.

A lucky @aranethome.bsky.social owner in Ireland shared this excellent CO2 reading from their bedroom, which has been unoccupied all day. This is ideal for a good night's sleep! #FridayAirday

Ireland remains among a small number of EU Member States that have not formally recognised Covid-19 as an occupational disease or injury, contrary to recommendations from the European Commission and the International Labour Organisation (ILO).

Sharing her experience is an effort to raise awareness of a growing health condition that is affecting more people as covid continues to spread. This stark warning should not have to come from a victim of this disease. Lydia is doing the work that public health services should be doing.

This #WorldVentil8Day reminds us that the air we breathe is a shared resource, and the fight for healthy air for all is a collaborative effort. Air doesn't discriminate, but too often building standards do. We must act for vulnerable people who can't advocate for improved ventilation by themselves.

COVID-19 remains unrecognised as an occupational illness in Ireland. The argument is that it's too difficult to prove an infection source, as COVID-19 is so pervasive in our communities. This is an admission of failure and not a justifiable excuse. #cleantheair #cleanairforall

The Mayor of London's rollout of HEPA filters in classrooms to improve air quality for children in schools shows real vision, leadership, and concern for children's health and wellbeing. Hopefully, it isn't long before Irish politicians recognise the numerous benefits of this policy.

Break the Irish tradition of keeping windows shut so as not to let the heat out, think of the ghosts! Crack open the windows to get some nice cross ventilation going and exorcise your home of all the indoor pollutants while you're at it! #oícheshamhna #happyhalloween #cleantheair #cleanairforall

In addition to outdoor air pollution penetrating indoors, we also face indoor sources of air pollution. Frequently referenced estimates from the Environmental Protection Agency say indoor levels of some contaminants can be three to five times higher than outdoors.

We now need global standards and political will to enforce them
Will either presidential candidate advocate for
Indoor air quality?

Reducing air pollution around schools can help reduce absence from illness.

Reducing air pollution around schools can help reduce absence from illness.
What we can do
1. Monitor Indoor air quality.
2. Fit mechanical ventilation systems.
3. Use portable Air Purifiers
4. Reduce polluting building materials
5. Advocate for standards and regulations and enact implementation measures.

What we Know
We spend > 90% of time indoors more for newborn and in utero
Air pollution
Can be 2-5 higher indoors
PM VOC’s PFAS can all build up in poorly ventilated tightly sealed buildings
Polluted air from outside can leak into buildings too

HIQA states what is needed -is increased numbers of beds in hospitals -not long trolley waits.
Hospital bed occupancy should be maintained at 85% to ensure patient flow and avoid risk of increased morbidity and mortality. Reduce outbreaks +provide clean airflow in hospitals too

The Department Of Education needs to adopt a systematic approach to cleaning the air in schools rather than leaving it to individual boards.
A similar approach to the asbestos schools remediation scheme 2006 could be adopted now for IAQ with urgency.
