Clean Air for Kids
@CleanAir4KidsUK
Campaign to bring better air quality to the children of Bristol and beyond! Run by @erbrooker and others.
This is upsetting. Nurseries are "stepping up cleaning" but ventilation & air filtration are not mentioned! We need impeccable indoor air quality to help control this. Measles is an AIRBORNE disease. It spreads quickly before the rash appears. h/t @CoastalK8 @JournoJess_
Make schools & nurseries safer by improving ventilation & #CleanAir but the clamour to have schools open no matter what meant little to no consideration for how to do that safely & protect us from future pandemics @CleanAir4KidsUK
Science tells us that portable air filters reduce the risk of transmission of airborne infectious diseases, but buying an air cleaning device that uses filters can be complex. We've got a guide to help you avoid bear traps... cleanairforkids.co.uk/inspiration/an…
"clean air is a basic human right... that includes the air in our schools.."
Opening speech by @hans_kluge, Director @WHO_Europe, at the 2nd European Indoor Air Conference, held in the Senate in Paris: "Breathing clean air is a basic human right that includes the air in our schools." ▶️ platform.genevahealthforum.com/index.php/ghf-…
@JournoJess_ very happy to talk further on this issue. I'm @erbrooker and my 2yr old son had cancer. Measles was terrifying when he was undergoing chemotherapy. There are no antivirals.
Here’s a way to reduce teacher absence, supply teacher costs, and pupil absence, and improve pupil performance. All for only a fiver per pupil per year. (This example is a campaign in Bristol but it applies anywhere and everywhere.) @CleanAir4KidsUK cleanairforkids.co.uk/benefits-to-sc…
Spiralling costs of supply teachers, and pupils getting poor quality teaching as a result. See story from @SkyNews in tweet below. And see what the solutions are in this link from @CleanAir4KidsUK cleanairforkids.co.uk/benefits-to-sc…

"we did see some reduction in illness absence in the schools that had the air cleaners in there" Fascinating five minutes from Professor Cath Noakes @eurovent youtu.be/e7jOIFUNL5k?si…
Five benefits from having clean air in schools 1. Reduced sickness absence 2. Improved performance 3. Saving money on supply teachers 4. A better learning experience 5. Less sickness for parents Will you help our campaign and write a letter please: cleanairforkids.co.uk/help-us
Prioritising clean air in schools means fewer sick days, better focus, & healthier kids. Clean air tools like the Blast air purifier help make classrooms safer so every child can learn, grow, and thrive worry-free. 🏫💚 Every child deserves clean air. Let’s make it standard.
@bristolgreen Here is a summary of the benefits of clean air to schools, below. Why wouldn’t you want to do it, especially as @sianberry has gone to the trouble of a 10-min rule bill asking for clean air standards. You have the power to make it happen in Bristol schools…

This is very interesting, below. I wonder if the @TheGreenParty will do some joined up thinking with it? @sianberry has a 10-Minute Rule Bill calling for clean air standards, and the Greens run @BristolCouncil where they could introduce clean air for kids in schools. Simples!
Hello @TonyDDyer Did you see the 10 Minute Rule Motion introduced by Green MP @sianberry calling for clean air standards? Will you make it happen for Bristol kids when they are at school, please? @carla_denyer cleanairforkids.co.uk/inspiration/cl…
