From 2027, new English homes must have mechanical ventilation by law. A welcome step — but millions already live with poor indoor air. That gap is exactly why we donate air cleaners to those who need them most. go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/h8mMg9T #IndoorAirQuality #CleanAirUK
'Pollution robs individuals of their healthiest years.' A UK study of 396,000 people found pollutants accelerate the onset of 78 diseases. Indoor air quality must be part of every health conversation. #CleanAir #BreathingMatters #PublicHealth go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/tIfoIYq
UK Pandemic Preparedness is built on solid principles: equity, early action, local delivery and flexibility. Now make clean indoor air explicit. Better buildings. Safer schools. More resilient communities. go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/jdiajRW
#CleanAir #Resilience
UK Pandemic Preparedness values data and evidence. Good. Evidence is that respiratory is a critical transmission route and clean air mitigates it. Let's set clean air standards as part of prevention. go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/jdiajRW
#IndoorAirQuality #CleanAir
If respiratory transmission is central to pandemic preparedness, clean indoor air should be central to the plan. In this document, ventilation and filtration are still too implicit. They should be named. go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/jdiajRW

Happy Easter from all of us at the Corsi-Rosenthal Foundation UK!

A strong point in the UK Pandemic Preparedness strategy: local partners, charities and communities matter. Agreed. Trusted local organisations can help deliver cleaner air where it is needed fastest. go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/jdiajRW
#VCSE #PublicHealth #CleanAir
UK Pandemic Preparedness talks about rapid scale-up and flexibility. Good. That should include ventilation and air cleaning, not just medicines and PPE. Preparedness should be practical. go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/jdiajRW
#PandemicPreparedness #CleanAir
Credit where it's due. The UK Pandemic Preparedness Strategy emphasises those most at risk and inequity. We agree. Safer air in schools, care settings and healthcare should be part of that promise. go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/jdiajRW
#HealthEquity #CleanAir
The new UK pandemic paper gets one big thing right: future pandemics are a certainty, and respiratory spread matters. Good start. But preparedness has to mean cleaner indoor air too. go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/jdiajRW

UK pollution is forecast to be low this week, but that doesn’t mean classrooms and homes are safe. Indoor air can build up CO2, PM and VOCs fast. Time to talk about cleaner indoor air.

Most of us focus on outdoor air pollution.
But we spend ~90% of our time indoors, where air can often be worse.
Clean indoor air reduces risk, especially for children and vulnerable people.

Norovirus is rife at the moment. It usually spreads by contact, but there is evidence it can also be airborne.
Clean indoor air adds a layer of protection, especially for the most vulnerable.

Air pollution is a major trigger for asthma attacks in children.
Most exposure happens indoors. Clean air reduces that risk.
Help us place purifiers where they’re needed most.

270+ lab-confirmed measles cases in England by Mar 16, up 35 in a week—mostly kids in poor-vent schools.
Vaccines 1st, but HEPA cuts spread. We donate purifiers to vulnerable families/schools. go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/3fowZqV #CleanAirUK"

An excellent blog by UK Headmaster Steve Bladon.
Clear thinking on poor attendance, the cost of reaction over prevention, and the role #CleanAir can play.
Worth a read. 👏

Clean air in schools is now UK Government policy. Good progress.
H13 in early guidance is understandable.
But CADR depends on form, fit and flow.
High-airflow CR Boxes with MERV filters can exceed some H13 units.
Keep the door open to innovation.
#CleanAir #IndoorAirQuality
Great news. The UK Government has issued new guidance on ventilation in schools, including specifications on air cleaners.
We’re getting there.

He did it so maybe one day you won’t have to. BBC journalist James Gallagher exposed himself to pollution to track where it travels in his body. Here’s the podcast: go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/r6WnhA0 #CleanAir #AirPollution #IndoorAirQuality #PublicHealth
UK has lost its measles free status. The route back is simple. Increase vaccine uptake. Clean indoor air is a useful back up in shared spaces, especially schools. Layered protection works. go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/FWZ4SFH #Measles #VaccinesWork #CleanAir
If filtration is good enough for schools in London, why not everywhere? Clean indoor air should not depend on postcode. It is a basic public health measure for every child. go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/iL8DHhW #CleanAir #CleanAirInSchools #AirQuality #HealthEquity
American Lung Association highlights indoor air filtration to cut exposure to harmful pollution. When major health bodies say it, people listen. Clean indoor air is public health. go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/MdrjmVU #CleanAir #AirQuality #PublicHealth
Policy question. If evidence shows indoor air interventions reduce health risk, why are they treated as optional add ons. Clean air is basic public health protection. go.corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk/YgRgd7f

BBC Health journalist James Gallagher volunteered to breathe polluted air to see what it did to him.
Most of us don’t.
The effects showed up in his blood under a microscope.

House burping sounds sensible, and we support anything that raises the profile of indoor air. But what if the air outside is polluted? When that happens, air filtration can help.

February is Canada’s ‘Care About Your Indoor Air’ month. But air doesn’t stop at borders. In the UK, clean indoor air matters just as much.
