Our latest defenses against airborne pathogens at home:
* Air filter furniture from Clean Air Kits - https://www.cleanairkits.com/
* Nukit Lantern 222nm Far-UVC Light - https://www.nukit222.com/products/nukit-lantern-far-uvc-light
* All plugged in to a Nukit CO2 Controller (to turn them off when no one is around or the windows are open) - https://cybernightmarket.com/products/nukit-co2-mains-relay-switch
This will give us some peace of mind if/when family/friends visit to help with childcare/chores.

The Nukit CO2 controller hiding behind the couch. It's set to turn on at 750ppm, and off at 650ppm. Currently reading 1220ppm.
The Aerating End Table from behind the couch
The filter furniture has computer fans on the front and back, to draw air through the MERV13 filters. From one end you can see through to the fans on the other end.
The Nukit Lantern also has a mmWave motion detector, to try to protect the bulb from burning out when no one is there. You can see it dangling off to the side, but surprisingly it still picks up a lot of motion even when not facing the right way.

I hereby recommend... this article featuring physicist and complexity scientist Professor @yaneerbaryam.
This'll be a useful piece for sharing with people who are puzzled about why covid is still important. One to bookmark.

@phpledge I don’t think this is well known either:
@phpledge I don’t think this is well known either:
News: I am now an independent consultant.
Over the last two years, I built the #AirQuality Sector into a 25-person team specialized in #AirPollution modelling (CAMx-PSAT, reduced complexity models) and measurements (the first India Sensor Evaluation & Training facility or Indi-SET; real-time source apportionment) relevant to policy-making.
We launched a black carbon report at COP28, hosted the 2024 CAMS-Net meeting with ICAS, and organised the first Indian ACSM users meeting in 2025.
Onward!

Sounds like I should eat one #pineapple 🍍, 20 #apples and a bushel of #bananas every day...or we could just ban #cars

Does anyone have recommendations on an affordable “good enough” test tools for volatile organic compound (VOC) &/or #Formaldehyde
I’ve read about the affordable #VOC device shortcomings, but the local mold environmental specialist said doing professional VOC testing would be prohibitively expensive.
I don’t need it to be exactly accurate data as much as a warmer/colder: Did making [x] change help? Which areas are more or less safe? Thank you
Adding hashtags for above post asking help with rough VOC &/or formaldehyde metering for reach:

LA and Ventura County sucking smoke this morning. Woke up with a slight headache, turned up the Corsi Rosenthal
For the last months I got noticeably sick 3 times one after another with short breaks (I haven't been any seriously sick for 2+ years). I suspect, the primary cause is air quality in the rented apartment.
I temporary moved to hotel and now researching indoor air quality sensors and air purifiers.
I'm a newbie in the topic, materials and suggestions are appreciated.

7.8: Why Do These Cancelled Science Grants Matter?
In this episode, Christina talks to Dr Gabriel Filippelli - one of the first scientists to have a running project canceled by the Trump administration. This fascinating interview reveals just how important internationally these American grants can be, and Dr Filippelli passionately describes this unprecedented attack on science and education and what we all lose when the work that scientists do grinds to a halt or is extremely politically curtailed. It's important, he tells us, to support the institutions that you care about and are vital to the continued knowledge of how to survive our climate-changed future.
Dr Filippelli is the Chancellor’s Professor of Earth Sciences at Indiana University Indianapolis and the Executive Director of the Indiana University Environmental Resilience Institute. He works at the junction between biogeochemical cycles, climate change, and human health.
Dr Filippelli has also written the book Climate Change and Life: The Complex Co-evolution of Climate and Life on Earth, and Beyond, which explores Earth's ecological resilience to the great changes in climate that have occurred over the history of the Earth. He was also part of the driving force behind Climate Change and Resilience in Indiana and Beyond, which details local efforts to reduce the risks and lessen the harmful impacts of climate change, as well as prepare for the unavoidable consequences of climate change.
