Preliminary results of Finnish study shows that air purifiers in Kindergartens reduced parental workplace absences by 30%‼️
Using this 30% across all kindergarten children can potentially save employers EUR 20 million annually in Helsinki alone.
Invest in HEPA filtration now 💨
❤️Great article on the benefits of filtration and ventilation on reducing the spread of airborne infections...
"The results clearly show that Covid is spread by air and that ventilation is of great importance in reducing the risk of infection."🔥

If you have a space with multiple small rooms (surgeries, clinics, beauty spa, offices), the Sqair can clean a 15m2 room in 7mins giving you 8.8 air changes per hour 💪
And if you are providing clean air for your customers/patients/staff, make sure they know about it 📣
After 4 months of air filters in classrooms, improved test scores were equivalent to reducing the class size by 1/3rd
Imagine what the improvement could be over a school year...
...or a child's entire academic life!

The global air purifier industry (worth US$10.67bn) will persuade you that extra components will give you better clean air.
But all you need is a FAN and a FILTER:
Added extras can have negative affects...

@LibDemPatrick
@BlackLabrador10
I heard recently that schools are turning down air purifiers because
- it suggests they don’t run a safe environment
- they won’t set a precedent where parents dictate to a school
How do you fight such barriers when the top down message isn’t there 🤷♀️
Spotted in a delightful London bookshop, the SA600 air purifier 🙌
Here, you can expand your mind 🧠 while expanding your lungs 🫁

Can your school save £30 per pupil per year?
YES 🙌
Reduce the spend on supply teachers by introducing HEPA filters across your school 💨
But it's not just about absences‼️
Clean air can also improve student test scores, increase concentration levels and promote inclusivity!

Some surgeries are totally focused on

. Yet here is a lone Blast air purifier in one practice room, paid for by the GP.
To keep patient discussions private, clinics often have a closed window policy making it even more crucial to have mechanical or portable filtration!

In July, Belgian public venues must meet air-quality targets and display real-time CO2 levels.
By 2025, Belgian gyms, restaurants and indoor workspaces must all show air-quality ratings given through a certification system.
It’s appalling how far behind the UK is!
Bars in Belgium will display real-time measurements of

It's just the 'smart' way!
Viruses are particles & air purifiers remove particles (PM).
Yet we use CO2 as a proxy for transmission & only ventilation can reduce CO2!
Why CO2? High PMs won't tell you how many of these are viruses but high CO2 tells you how many 'exhaled breaths' you are rebreathing
🧵 /1
You might choose not to wear a mask on the underground because you think we need to live with COVID but not masking means you are breathing in a huge amount of pollution that will eventually have an impact on your health /1

This is a totally irresponsible act from the youth centre, to get rid of air cleaners that protect everyone (including staff) on the basis of such a feeble excuse
Our member donated a large clinical-grade air purifier/filter to a local youth group. They returned it after 3 weeks saying that parents didn't like to see it as it "reminded them of the dangers of Covid for their kids".
Then, it should be a priority for schools to make the one environment children are mandated to attend as safe as possible. Only then can the space be a truly inclusive one.

🚨Donation alert!🚨
We are so proud to announce 2 SA600s and 1 Blast Mini are making their way to St Elizabeth's Church in Belfast! 🥳
While our donors wish to stay anonymous, join us in celebrating their generosity as they help make indoor community spaces safer!💙
London schools research shows high occupancy led to 150% more CO2 and 230% more harmful particles in the air.
- Of schools surveyed, 80% had only 'natural' ventilation
- The 7% that had dual (natural + mechanical), PM2.5 reduced by 40%
We need ventilation AND filtration 💨💨
Secondly, while it is true that kids can get exposed to viruses from other environments, it is also true that school is a mandatory activity for children. Not all will do extra curricular activities - some will be clinically vulnerable or be in a clinically vulnerable household.

CO2 levels of 3,000 ppm in a classroom is the same as children breathing in 28.3 liters of other people's breath every hour!
That’s equivalent to 14 large bottles of coke every hour 😳

@SmartairUk
Right now, pollution levels in London are higher than Beijing 😲
- Run your air purifier on a high
- Close windows
- Exercise indoors
- Stay indoors if you have breathing problems
Indoor PM2.5 was 35ug in living room (AP off) but 8ug in the bedroom with AP on
Exceptionally high CO2 levels at a recent conference, went up to 3000ppm+
When the organisers were told, they opened two side doors and it went down to around 1200ppm. This is why it is important to monitor the air
Glad I had my QT3 travel purifier with me 😳
#eventprofs
First, while we advocate for enough mitigations in place to stop viral infections, the goal here is to reduce the number of infections and amount of viruses inhaled for a quicker recovery. There is overwhelming evidence that HEPA filters + natural ventilation work in this sense.
Our local library would love to lend out the QT3 travel air purifier and our air quality monitors but they have no way of ensuring it will come back.
They suggested
@libraryofthings
, a great concept, but they only accept things that are in demand (even when donated) /1
@PeteUK7
We also hear stories of air quality monitors sitting in classrooms with no-one looking at or using the data. Maybe a weekly chart and a designated class helper is needed 🤷♀️
Why not look at our SA600s for your classroom? 🎒
3 SA600s can be put on opposite sides of the room to spread the clean airflow and work incredibly quietly at 39 dBA on speed 2!
With a combined CADR of 735m³/hr, and 10% off on 3+ units, it’s a no-brainer! 🍃
Masked on the tube due to high PM2.5 on the district line. I get off at Hammersmith and find that the mask vending machine is now selling false eyelashes 😳

One argument we often hear against better air quality in schools is that kids can still get in contact with viruses and germs from other environments and extra curricular activities, and it won’t make much difference to viral spread.
@Rachel_deSouza
@Bham_Childrens
Some schools have avg 90% attendance. Forcing a parent to place their child in a room with high CO2 levels to get the numbers up is bonkers!
Cleaner air = lower absences, increased concentration, improved standardised scores
Or you could spend the same money having meetings 🤨
Students at Oxford will have a Blast!
Not only can they see the air they are breathing but, as this study shows, they may see health benefits within 48 hours of using the Blast air purifier

Smart Air can help schools pay no more than 44-51p for every 1m3 clean air per hour
