'England is facing a measles emergency, with almost 900 cases recorded this year - a sharp increase from 368 cases in all of 2023.'

'the current outbreak, which started in the West Midlands last year, has now spread to every region of the country.'

Imagine if we had this in schools…

Yaaas! 'Seeing is believing' is super effective. I've installed hundreds of IAQ monitors with screens & I've audited thousands of indoor spaces. People do take actions for healthier air when they see temp, RH, CO2 levels & PM2.5 on screens or view them in tables & line charts.…

I wrote to my MP in October 2021 warning about this (covered in the local press - see link)
It’s now 2024, there’s ongoing / rising levels of chronic illness in children

'The grim reality is that #AirPollution , particularly from sources like #Diesel vehicles, is causing staggering numbers of premature deaths globally'.

This is why we need our policymakers to commit to a diesel phase-out. #LE2024 #LondonElections

Around 112,000 children in the UK alone are now experiencing #Longcovid symptoms! Why is this going unmentioned? Why aren’t schools mitigated for #COVID ? It’s totally disgusting that children are suffering in this manner.

'But even the WHO-recommended level isn’t itself safe'.

This is why we want Mayoral & local election candidates to commit to a pathway of actions to achieve the latest WHO #AirPollution targets.

It's still not enough though 😢. #LE2024 #Mayor4CleanAir

#Asthma care should not be in crisis. Asthma + Lung UK is calling for urgent government action to prevent more avoidable deaths.

CAW has its first sign up from a U.K. school 🎉

✅Using CO2 monitors
✅Using air filters
✅Signed up to SAMHE Project
✅Aware of natural ventilation CO2 targets.

If your school is using any of the above sign up for the app using the registration form:

Still amazed at the granularity of the #Boston #IAQ school data. Every #school should be like this to combat all airborne issues, Covid, flu, chickenpox, allergies, pollution, etc. #CovidCO2

📢The support we can offer #SAMHE schools will reduce from 31 July, when our current funding ends. But don’t worry, you can keep using your #AirQuality monitor and the Web App for many years to come!

If you haven't signed up yet, you have till 31 May!

What are we doing to our children? I don’t think the general public are at all aware of the risk of longer term consequences to #SARSCoV2 infections. The public did not consent to this. Consent should be informed.

This is a fascinating thread and paper....
Takeaways:
SARS CoV2 is more stable in aerosols which are slightly acidic.

Aerosols are more acidic in high CO2 concentrations.

CO2 >800 ppm not only indicate that virus is not being removed, but also that it's more stable

Here's a thread on the deaths of 5 to 9 year olds in England and Wales in the last four years.
It's not great.
The kids are not alright.
🚨🧵

I’m neither a politician nor an economist, but finding it hard to see how it could be good to have 3% of the workforce long term unwell to #LongCovid , yet no moves to acknowledge, mitigate, research or treat?

Children are particularly vulnerable to the harmful effects of air pollution because their bodies, organs and immune systems are still developing.

We need those elected next Thursday to commit to #SchoolStreets & #SchoolSuperZones ! #LE2024 #LondonMayor
