This year, somewhere in the ballpark of 25 million Americans will inhale wildfire smoke — "probably the most toxic type of air pollution [they’re] ever exposed to," Brian Moench, the president at Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment, a nonprofit clean-air advocacy group, told me.
This. N95’s can save lives from wildfire smoke. The scientific evidence of the damage caused by Particulate matter is clear and terrifying.
Earth day is coming up & teachers can build #corsirosenthalbox filters for #EarthDay to help the school community learn how to deal with #wildfire smoke

Happening this Thursday!
We are accepting RFPs! We are looking to fund projects that will have a measurable impact in reducing indoor transmission of airborne pathogens. Projects that might be applicable: - detection and screening systems - deploying tools to improve IAQ - ventilation and air quality standards - indoor air infrastructure PHAN logo Terms and conditions apply. Please visit phan.global
March 31st is the last day to submit requests for proposals for projects with measurable results in reducing indoor airborne pathogens. Possible projects include breath-based multi-pathogen detection systems, HVAC compliance verification systems, and indoor air infrastructure deployment.
5. Contact as many political and workforce leaders as I can to request immediate action.

If you'd like to donate to my efforts that's great, if you can't that is understandable, and if you just don't want to I would even appreciate a share.
I kicked off fundraising around 18 months ago to...
1. Raise Awareness for Covid and Long Covid.
2. Provide education assistance to families.
3. Provide advocacy assistance.
4. Advocate for education, mitigation, and air filtration.

Tuberculosis remains one of the world's deadliest infectious diseases, yet it is preventable and curable.
Airborne diseases can be stopped.

Join us and @airsupportproject.bsky.social on Thursday, March 19th at 12 noon ET for a conversation with Ariana Zwern and Marisa Swanson on being young adults living with Long COVID.
Coming up this Thursday!
In case you missed our fantastic discussion last week with Becky Ancira Robertson and Amanda Finley about living with Long COVID, you can watch it on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/NK3-hQNiefc
The deadline to submit proposals is on March 31, 2026. You can read more about it and submit your proposal at: publichealthactionnetwork.org/phan-2026-request%20for-... Please reply here with questions or email us at info@phan.global. Thank you for your interest!

Reminder that PHAN is accepting requests for proposals for projects with measurable results in reducing indoor airborne pathogens. Some possible projects include breath-based multi-pathogen detection systems, continuous HVAC compliance verification systems, or indoor air infrastructure deployment.
Despair (1894), Edvard Munch: A person is standing looking down, they appear sad. They have brown hair, and are wearing a brown sweater. They are leaning on a fence and appear to be on a bridge walkway. There is a group of people in the distance. In the background is a sunset with orange, yellow, and blue colors that is set over dark blue water, with a green hillside lining the waterway. The text reads, “The Sick Times. My child and I both have Long COVID. Even in COVID-aware spaces, we are excluded because of their pre-existing disability. By eZme Fern, aka MadMaskedMxma.”
Medical facilities have handled Long COVID the same way they have the ongoing pandemic: ignore it and hope it goes away. - My child and I both have Long COVID. Even in COVID-aware spaces, we are excluded because of their pre-existing disability.
eZme Fern and their ten-year-old both have #LongCOVID, but they’ve discovered that even in COVID-aware spaces, they're excluded because of their child’s pre-existing disability. They argue that COVID-aware communities must provide safe spaces for generationally disabled families. bit.ly/4sAkobN
Today marks six years of long COVID for me. I knew it wouldn't be weeks or even months trying to wade through a pandemic, that it would be years. I just didn't expect this much anti-science to make it impossible to ever get out of it.

This chart from our blog shows how indoor carbon dioxide levels reflect ventilation and infection risk. As CO2 rises, the probability of infection rises during close conversation. High quality respirators and strong ventilation help keep risk much lower.

Promotional graphic for a virtual event titled “Living With Long COVID.” The top features abstract artwork in teal, turquoise, purple, and black. Below, large light green text on a dark teal background reads “Living With Long COVID.” A light green band lists event details: “March 5th,” “12P ET / 5P GMT,” and “Zoom.” At the bottom are the logos for PHAN, Public Health Action Network, and Air Support Project.
Join us and Air Support Project on Thursday, March 5th at 12 noon ET / 5pm GMT for a conversation with Becky Ancira Robertson and Amanda Finley on living with Long COVID. They'll talk about how it has affected them, what they've done about it, and what keeps them going.
