@smartairfilters.bsky.socialWork from home on smog days. Good idea?
@smartairfilters.bsky.socialWhat’s the AQI where you live right now?
@smartairfilters.bsky.socialUK air isn’t that bad, right? PM2.5 there was ~9.9 µg/m³, almost 2x the WHO limit (5). Still, more PM2.5 meant higher risk of heart & lung disease, diabetes, even Alzheimer’s. No level is safe. doi.org/10.1007/s004...

@smartairfilters.bsky.social@smartairfilters.bsky.socialStudents spend about three years of their lives inside school buildings. Yet classroom air may carry pollution, viruses, mold spores, pollen, and other pollutants. Better indoor air quality helps create healthier classrooms where students can focus and teachers can teach well.

@smartairfilters.bsky.socialFor years, we've taught people how to protect themselves from air pollution. Our Clean Air Workshop is not just theory. You also build a DIY air purifier that you can use at home: smartairfilters.com/en/air-pollu...
@smartairfilters.bsky.social@smartairfilters.bsky.socialIndonesia has its worst wildfires in 11 years, and the air is full of smoke. In just over a week, the number of people with breathing problems from the smoke more than doubled, from 50,891 to 113,336. Over 12.5 million people live with the smoke.

@smartairfilters.bsky.socialListen, I'm totally biased, but I think you should always have an air purifier on at home. Why? Because studies find health benefits even for lowering from "good" to "even better." This is what I do in my home.
@smartairfilters.bsky.socialDoes an air cleaner help in a classroom that already has a filter in the ventilation system? A study in 17 Los Angeles schools found that classrooms with HEPA air cleaners had 39.9% less PM₂.₅ than other classrooms.

@smartairfilters.bsky.socialIn a bigger room, the air can stay cleaner longer, even with the same ventilation.
@smartairfilters.bsky.socialCongrats to our founder on his new study in Nature Human Behaviour. 🥳 Data from 100 cultures around the world! www.nature.com/articles/s41... @thomastalhelm.bsky.social
