Clean Air Parenting Podcast

On the Clean Air Parenting Podcast, we talk about how the air in schools affects kids’ health, learning, and safety & what you can do to make change happen.

[Clean Air Parenting Podcast @CleanAirParents]

Why is clean air important for kids & what does “follow the science” really mean?

Find out in the new episode of the Clean Air Parenting Podcast 🎧

We unpack @ukhadds' great new video on school IAQ, why it matters & who’s actually walking the walk. https://t.co/V4dKaiVZep /1🧵

Huge congrats to @erbrooker & @CleanAir4KidsUK!

The central flowing shape is reflective of a mouth - to represent how we breathe in air...
And also how we talk & advocate about air quality, which is illustrated (emerging from inside it) by the child's pinwheel motif.

[Lisa Oshima @lisawhelan]

If our government's complete failure to ensure safe and healthy indoor air quality for kids at school & doctors' offices doesn't surprise you, neither will this, but it's still disturbing.

[Lisa Oshima @lisawhelan]

Cartels are building tunnels with sophisticated ventilation & electricity.

Meanwhile, California, the 4th largest economy on earth, doesn't guarantee basic ventilation/ healthy airflow in public schools. The contrast is wild & deserves coverage, @ABC. @CAgovernor @GovPressOffice

@SenAngusKing Imagine what would happen if instead of sending every senior citizen a shower mat, we put an adequate number of air purifiers in every US school... https://t.co/qTGcnAtyzp

@ryangrim Hey Ryan, longtime BP fan and was following Jeremy when he was over at DemocracyNow with Amy. Can you guys please for the love of god cover longterm post viral damage from covid and how it is impacting adults and kids. This impacts working class people.

[Lisa Oshima @lisawhelan]

Raw sewage in streets and cholera in drinking water once seemed normal. Now it’s unthinkable.

Yet we tolerate the airborne equivalent in too many indoor spaces, including schools, doctor's offices, work & more.

Clean, healthy air is the next public health and economic frontier.

[Lisa Oshima @lisawhelan]

Ignoring indoor air quality is arguably one of the biggest public health failures of our time.

Cruises, schools, jails, shelters, offices - all shared spaces need healthy air.

Whether it’s PM2.5 or respiratory aerosols, preventable exposures shouldn't be accepted as inevitable.

Please make the stupid stop for the love of Christ.

Why in gods name are these people not equipped with (at the very least) N95s??

[Lisa Oshima @lisawhelan]

Did @MonicaGandhi9 really tell @sfgate she thinks "immunity debt" is a "real phenomenon” & blame 📈CA Parvo cases on 2020 lockdowns?

@UCSF Next time, please refer @SFGate to @MichaelPelusoMD to discuss immunological consequences of COVID-19 instead.

Who let one of the US Andes Hantavirus passengers on a flight from SFO to Tahiti at the weekend?

How did local authorities become aware of the situation?

Are the other passengers on that flight aware?

How is this not all over the news?

@GovPressOffice 🤞🤞 for Season 2: RFK Jr's Great American Public Health Roadshow: Repatriating the Passengers from MD Hondias! https://t.co/n9hCRwzBEW

[Lisa Oshima @lisawhelan]

@emilygraymd_mph Exactly. Can’t wait for Bezos and Netflix to fight over rights to the Sean Duffy American Roadshow sequel where RFK Jr. gets a passenger van and personally shuttles everyone home.

👇And, do their kids go back to school?

[Lisa Oshima @lisawhelan]

What happens to all of the drivers & pilots ferrying these people from the ship to the airport & then to the quarantine facility? Will everyone be wearing FFP3? Will air purifiers be in use? Will they quarantine after contact? This all sounds... messy.

[Lisa Oshima @lisawhelan]

@Elex_Michaelson @CNN @kaitlancollins CA kids spend all day in schools & care governed by code (law) that doesn’t meet @CAPublicHealth's guidance for healthy indoor air quality-IAQ.

Chronic absenteeism persists. Families are sick of being sick.

Will you designate 1 agency to measure, disclose & enforce healthy IAQ?

[Lisa Oshima @lisawhelan]

@garrytan 💯 Housing is a big issue, but there’s more to it. The social contract is breaking.

Unhealthy schools + new climate & health realities = more sickness & absenteeism. Outdated curriculum. Childcare families can't find or afford. Broken healthcare.

Families are exhausted.

[Love thy neighbor: wear an N95😷 @CCSDMaskUp]

@lisawhelan @Elex_Michaelson @CNN @kaitlancollins @CalEnergy @CAPublicHealth Agree completely with you. School is such a clear disease vector. Cleaning the air will reap societal benefits writ large AS WELL as benefiting high risk kids (and teachers) as well as all kids and learning and absenteeism

[Lisa Oshima @lisawhelan]

@Elex_Michaelson @CNN @kaitlancollins CA has an indoor air quality crisis. @CalEnergy’s Title 24 lets schools provide HALF the minimum eACH/clean airflow @CAPublicHealth ADVISES for HEALTH. Highest-risk kids (TK & SpEd students) are often in worse portable classrooms. Which candidates will commit to closing this gap?

[Lisa Oshima @lisawhelan]

@CAgovernor @AsmMuratsuchi @CAPublicHealth @CalEnergy @AAPCA1 @CADeptEd @CApress_sec @GovPressOffice These & other CA orgs & scientists lead the world on IAQ: @CRFoundationUS @LevoitLifestyle @kprather88 @UCDavisCOE @CorsIAQ @AcInfinityInc @IQAir @RabbitAir @Coway_Global... While CA schools ignore @capublichealth IAQ guidance & block air cleaner donations. Please fix it! 🧵2/2

[Lisa Oshima @lisawhelan]

@CAgovernor 💯 CA is also the world leader in indoor air cleaning science & technology (see next tweet 👇)! Yet kids are forced to breathe UNHEALTHY air in school & pediatrician's offices b/c Title 24 prioritizes energy efficiency over HEALTH!

Write an EO that changes this! 🧵1/2

[Covid Bag Of Dicks 🦠🛍️🍆 @covidbagofdicks]

I’m thinking a school public health campaign in the style of Allstate’s “Protect yourself from mayhem” could be incredibly effective. It’s from the POV of a pathogen trying to infect kids. What do you guys think?
