Flu vax today, very spur of the moment, passing a pharmacy, saw a sign, asked about the wait, no wait, happened to have the desired IDs with me, 10 minures later out the door.
Having to face up to the current #Novavax probably(?) never getting released in AU.
And only (?) RNA vax(s?) being available.
And the months since my last infection ticking by.
The lack of #IAQ regulations anf improvements - smh #Australia #PublicHealth

2025 looks better.
Though winter is on the way.
Hope the reduction continues.
Anyone seem an update on Indoor Air Quality improvements in Aged Care Facilities in AU?
Last I saw the government's programme looked like a farce.
I share air quality readings at airports, planes, ground transportation, a convention center, and my hotel during a trip to Puerto Rico.

We went to see the Minecraft Movie at the movie theatre. About half the seats of the 170 seats total were occupied.
This was theatre No. 10 at the Cinecitta in Nuremberg.
Indoor Air Quality and it's regulation, and creating social norms of masking when ill and isolating when dangerously infectious are now looking even more essential.
Seems a far wider range of common respiratory infections than just COVID have severe, long term, multi-organ consequences.

Diskriminierungsrisiken aufgrund psychischer Erkrankungen im Arbeitsleben
Slightly SW of #Asheville, our #AQI numbers have gone way up, and the 2 windows I had open for an hour trying to bring down the #CO2 #IAQ numbers are now closed again due to smoke.
Really, some rain would be welcome. But just a little, controlled rain. Without lightning. Please.
Here's an affordable air quality tool for meeting planners. CO₂ meters cost less than $100 and provide a useful proxy for air quality.

Another issue here with smoke in the area and poor #AQI is the trade-off we have to make with #iAQ. For unknown reasons, this house simply likes to keep high CO2 levels.
I generally keep 2 windows open on opposite sides of the house regardless of the weather, but we've not been doing that with the #Wildfires
So one day recently we left for 3 hours, came home and found the #Aranet had recorded this CO2 reading.
No heat running. No one home, exhaling. Gas fireplace turned completely off. Windows closed.
What a tradeoff.
An alert for all event planners: scientists have found that high CO2 levels in the air we breathe pose a double threat for viral contagion

With the warmer temps here in #Asheville I've opened more windows, which lowers the normally high CO2 reading, but brings in more of the poor air quality we are apparently having.
My BlueAir purifier has kicked up and is running continuously now. AQI in the area is about 76. Inside only 6 (usually 1.) Always a tradeoff between the 2 issues.
Indoor air quality and ventilation folks… I need some help!
I’ve been dealing with terrible VOCs in my apartment that are making me sick. I’ve been trouble shooting for months but can’t figure out where they’re coming from.
My building has four MAUs (make up air units) on the roof that are supposed to pressurize the hallways and supply fresh air from the roof. They needed replacing, and when they were turned off the vocs in my unit dropped considerably.
Best as I can tell the pressurization must be causing excessive air leakage from someone else’s unit into mine.
I have to constantly keep a window open in order to run any exhaust fans, and they’re still high.
Here’s my latest dilemma. I’m in a tiny condo with just a living room and bedroom. Living room has a sliding door to a balcony and bedroom has a window.
I want to put a portable air conditioner in the bedroom as it runs ridiculously hot, but that will mean sealing off the window.
The portable unit comes with a hose to vent the unit out the window … so does that mean it will constantly ventilate as long as the unit is “on”?
If that’s the case it might actually help the VOCs, but I’m unsure if I’m understanding correctly.
I assume if the unit is “off” it would provide less fresh air than an open window, but appreciate any advice!
HEPA is sufficient for capturing airborne microplastics, but not nanoplastics: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0957582023009187
@AirSupportProject Thx ASP team! It's impt for people to realize when we climate-sealed schools we also hot-boxed them. #IAQ has been a problem for years but now it's helping infectious diseases spread to our kids and greater public. Now we have huge wildfires with smoke infiltrating indoor spaces. Filtering this out is important. That's what this work is about.
