We welcome this leadership. Our letter to UK education ministers, backed by national organisations, charities, public health experts and senior MPs calls for the same practical action.

Boston shows what is possible when indoor air quality is taken seriously.

The UK is asking for action.
Scaling a school district-wide indoor air quality sensor network. In 2022, @bostonschools.boston.gov launched an indoor air quality monitoring initiative that has made the district a nationally and globally recognized leader in creating healthier school environments.

🤷 The www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/s... dataset is overdue.

👀 It is not hidden, not archived, and not indexed elsewhere - unless you know different? @ukhsa.bsky.social

🤷 It has simply not been uploaded by NHS England?

💯 A missing monthly dataset is unusual and should be queried.

4/ Ventilation saves lives. Clean indoor air, through ventilation or filtration, dramatically cuts the spread of respiratory infections. It’s time to treat air quality like food hygiene: a basic public health requirement.

It's a fact that healthcare associated infections aren’t rare. They’re systemic. When underreported, we don’t just miss data, we miss warning signs. Every outbreak ignored is a life endangered. Transparency isn’t optional. It’s the backbone of public health.

I still have not been able to find a GTA doctor willing to help Openwater with the 150 kHz ultrasound treatment of Long COVID microclots.
Openwater will provide all the materials. Literally just need a PHD candidate or doctor to administer.
