We are encouraged by the national focus on indoor air quality, as seen in today’s bipartisan introduction of the Indoor Air Quality and Healthy Schools Act by Paul Tonko and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick 🇺🇸 and the @BioCommission’s public meeting. Our team remains committed to advancing indoor

Possible legislation to improve Indoor Air Quality in the US: great news! Especially that it is bipartisan, so that it has a chance to pass. But just the fact that it has been introduced is great news. Even a few months ago people were discussing this as nearly impossible

Paul Tonko Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick 🇺🇸 Here in Illinois Senator Adriane Johnson, State Rep. Camille Y. Lilly, and Illinois Stakeholders for Air Quality in Schools are advancing school indoor air quality legislation with #HB3713 Clean Air for Healthy Equitable Schools

While we’ve been focused on state legislation w/ our Clean Air for Healthy Equitable Schools bill, we also have our eyes on what’s happening at the FEDERAL level. Pls call your congressperson-ask them to co-sponsor/support the bipartisan Indoor Air Quality & Healthy Schools Act.

This week, along with Paul Tonko, I introduced the Indoor Air Quality Act—bipartisan legislation that takes a critical step forward in my efforts to protect our community and students from poor indoor air quality. Although progress has been made to address outdoor air

👏 👏 👏 This is what we like to see! A bipartisan effort to improve air quality in schools. Thank you, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick 🇺🇸 and Paul Tonko!

Jerome Adams Also…please call your congressperson & ask them to co-sponsor/support this BIPARTISAN bill, which was recently introduced to Congress. Improved air quality = better attendance, physical health (e.g. fewer asthmatic/respiratory symptoms), cognitive function & test scores.

Mazda Sabouri There are a lot of people working on the clean air vs environmental impact issue, and lots of innovation on creating more energy efficient clean air. I was at a summit in DC addressing this issue a few weeks ago. As to cost, cleaner air has a huge ROI.

Jerome Adams Paul Tonko Thanks Dr. Adams! This fall we in Illinois aim to pass #HB3713 (Senator Adriane Johnson & State Rep. Camille Y. Lilly) to give equipment and services to all IL public schools to improve indoor air quality. It's written and endorsed by leading experts and backed by a diverse coalition.

The best way to stay safe from #wildfire smoke is to stay indoors. If you must go outside, wear an N95 mask. You must wear the right mask and wear it correctly for it to be effective. bit.ly/4ctb7K0 #CDCSummerSafety

Better late than never!

Are you concerned about air quality, ventilation and other key exposures—and our health? And what to do about it. The new Ground Truths podcast with Joseph Allen covers this in depth. Link in my profile d/t X-suppression

Michael Bailey with iaqadvocates (Indoor Air Care Advocates) received a grant to build 12 Corsi-Rosenthal Boxes at the Alabama Asthma Summit to clean the air during the event and to send home with school nurses afterwards. An awesome project we are proud to support!

we need an indoor clean air act

Chris Hayes Thanks, Chris! In Illinois, we are working to pass the Clean Air for Healthy Equitable Schools Act. Improved air quality is associated w/ better cognitive function, attendance, physical health (fewer asthma/respiratory symptoms), etc. Fewer pathogens, pollutants, allergens, etc.

Nice that heavy hitter like Chris Hayes is joining the push! It's crazy that >50 years after the Clean Air Act was enacted, U.S. EPA STILL can't ensure INDOOR air quality is healthy... Time for #Illinois to do what they can't.

and yet ANOTHER study showing the benefits to children when you ensure their INDOOR air is clean. #AirFilters = 18% drop in children's illness... fastcompany.com/91189784/when-…

Y'all, this should be an easy point of action! Study after study shows that cleaning the indoor air can support children's health, which in turn will help them attend school regularly and reduce the burden sick days place on parents.

👏 Bravo to the Netherlands! Higher CO2 levels often mean poor ventilation, which can boost the risk of #COVID-19 and other viruses. It's time for every classroom around the world to have a CO2 monitor. #AirQuality #CleanAir #HealthyClassrooms #CO2Monitors

Leigh Giangreco Exactly. Thanks, Leigh! This is why we introduced the Clean Air for Healthy Equitable Schools bill in IL. Already passed the House. MOST IL schools do not meet minimum ventilation requirements. Better air quality = better attendance, physical health, cognitive performance, etc.
