📰 Hot off the press‼️In our study in CA's San Joaquin Valley that characterized #IAQ associated with an electrification program, median #NO2 was 63% lower in electric stove homes vs gas! Thanks to our wonderful partners #CalAsthma and our funders for making this possible! 🙌https://bit.ly/47Dp9t9

This is why the cost to improve #IAQ is worth the investment.

Businesses/the economy (let alone the sick people themselves!) lose out because of NOT making the improvements.

Measles = yet another airborne illness. Like TB, colds, flu, RSV & more - avoid breathing in virus particles, to avoid catching it (but please, VACCINATE as the surest protection).

Avoid breathing other people's exhalations - meet outdoors, open windows, upgrade filters, wear N95s

Over on Twitter, "Aftab Khan, MD" posted this Harvard study (they don't seem to be on Bsky?):

Studied 24 office workers over 6 days, secretly tweaking AQ (ventilation, CO2, and VOCs) - cognitive scores doubled in cleaner “green+” conditions!

When what the public really needs to hear more about is: #Prevention, masking, #N95s, ventilation, filtration, #HEPAs, upgraded #IAQ, carbon dioxide monitors, #CO2, vaccine-plus mitigation, & #LongCOVID, etc.

But to do that, journalists need to read more & start talking to the "right" experts.

Depressing too, the omission of words/phrases like " #N95", "masks", "clean air", "upgraded #IAQ", "ventilation", "filtration", #HEPAs", etc.
