Spain's air pollution is sending 60,000 to the hospital each year, and experts like @ensgismau and @jesusdelaosa are urging us to clear the air before it's too late with preventive plans against pollution and climate change.
Imagine the savings in healthcare cost!

They tested 26 different air cleaners and found that the #corsirosenthalbox performed the best! More confirmation of what we have found. The CR Box with MERV 13 filters beats the expensive HEPA air cleaners hands down. It is not just the filter. It is the filter X the flow!

The Corsi-Rosenthal box is the best air purifier we've tested out of 26 —and it's one we built ourselves! How can it the BEST air purifier when we've got sleek Dysons, portable Levoits, and much cooler boxes of filters? Our newest R&D Video answers that! buff.ly/3xAZFO3

My 3 key takeaways from SCIENCE article written with 40 colleagues:
1. The pandemic has underscored the critical role of IAQ in public health, revealing a need for regulated performance standards for public spaces
2. Proactive IAQ monitoring is vital to managing healthier indoor environments
3. Enhanced ventilation targets, well above the "acceptable" minimum, are essential to protect public health

1/ Canadian's beware. An article in Canada's National Post yesterday contains misleading information RE promotion of round-the-clock hydroxyl radical (OH) generation in homes. I have purposely not included a link here.

Silicosis, an incurable lung disease, is claiming the lives of California workers cutting countertops. Young workers, predominantly Latino immigrants, are affected, with some losing their lives in their 30s.

With rare exception, I haven’t flown outside of @Delta for years as I was a loyalist. I hear great things about @JetBlue and @AlaskaAir; looking forward to giving them a try. For next year’s trip to Japan, @JALairlines is supposed to have the world’s best economy class.

Updated covid vaccines could be available in some places as soon as late next week, and are a good match for the currently circulating variants.
DYK 75% of US adults have underlying conditions that put them at increased risk of severe #COVID19 complications, and 1/3rd of current hospitalizations are in 18-64 year olds?
This is why most of America should be considering the updated vax. 🇺🇸 💉

Wildfire smoke.
We use Nordic Pure MERV12 Activated Carbon furnace filters at home.
We run our furnace fan 24/7 to constantly recirculate & filter indoor air.
During wildfire season we're changing filters monthly instead of every 3 months.
Here's why.
