Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.

Good trade.

Why should you care about indoor air?

1. You inhale a greater mass of air than the mass of water you drink.
2. Chemical concentrations in indoor air are typically higher than outdoors.
3. 90% of your breaths inhale indoor air.
4. Unlike water, you don't get to choose your indoor air (in public).

The guiding principles for good indoor air quality:

1. Reduce sources (don't bring chemicals indoors).
2. Increase ventilation (assuming no fires/roads outside).
3. Clean the air to remove particles (without impacting chemistry).
4. Keep RH below 60% to prevent mold growth.
Four principles for achieving good indoor air quality

I'm concerned that ppl may think all we need to do is follow ASHRAE 241 of deliver 6 ACH to ensure safe indoor air

When that fails, there will be a backlash against Safe Indoor Air

Ein Großteil der Probleme bei postviralen Erkrankungen (u.a. Long Covid) ist bekanntermaßen autoimmun bedingt.

Das heißt, das Immunsystem schädigt die eigenen Gefäße, Gelenke, Organe.

Nur um "Ich brauche keine Impfung/Maske, ich hab ein starkes Immunsystem!" mal ins Verhältnis zu setzen...
