@JohnsHopkinsSPH The disconnect between who is responsible for investment (owners) and who is impacted by inaction (people in the building) means we need some public policy action. Little regulation of a building once it's built beyond fire safety and elevators. Should add IAQ to that list.

[American Academy of Pediatrics @AmerAcadPeds]

Every child should have the right to breathe clean air. To ensure that right, our federal government must be able to pass regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The decision will make it harder for that to happen now and harder for regulations to pass in the future. 3/4

One more reason for our homes to switch from gas to electricity. It's about the planet AND its about your health.

[Mothers & Others For Clean Air @mocleanair]

A new study found hundreds of toxins in natural gas from residential sites, including toluene and benzene in 94-95% of samples. Read more, call ALL your elected leaders for just clean energy: https://t.co/mPGRKaX1uT

All kids deserve a safe, secure cradle- literally & figuratively. @ChisholmLegacy @CEHN report shows the ways racism systemically denies this access throughout many Black kids' lives, if they survive the gauntlet that is being Black in the US https://t.co/41XfdW6YDW

The @Marketplace piece mentioned below referenced @cityofdallas as a community that has adopted code language requiring AC in rentals when temps are high. shout out to @nchh and its #NationalHealthyHousingStandard in assisting Dallas with that change.

[jonathan wilson @hthyhsgforall]

TY @Marketplace for reporting on this important issue. We need AC pretections like the heating protections found in codes for decades. And people should not have to choose between running their AC (and not dieing) or having their electricity shut off because they can't afford it.

[Andrew Bradley @AndrewBradleyUS]

An important issue with implications for federal and state investments in #AffordableHousing: limited financial resources mean low-income households spend larger shares of their incomes on home improvements, making it difficult to keep homes habitable. https://t.co/ogDF0SVzOi

[Marketplace @Marketplace]

More people die of heat-related causes than any other kind of extreme weather. Yet there are many more laws and programs to help low-income people stay warm in the winter than cool in the summer: https://t.co/Ljt9TlHzas

2/ ASHRAE 62.2 does not require range hoods in existing renovated units and none of the units we studied had them. They either depended on bath exhaust alone or bath + kitchen wall exhaust. These solutions were not sufficient to reduce NO2 in living area.

[jonathan wilson @hthyhsgforall]

@timinclimate @bradytoday @KHayhoe @EEMauthor @mckennapr @tfkahan @nathanpboston @NCHH @EnterpriseNow 1/ ty @bradytoday for sharing our research. We did conclude that the ASHRAE ventilation did not reduce NO2 in the living area of multifamily units with gas stoves AND electrification is recommended to remove the combustion source.

Had opportunity to present on kitchen exhaust ventilation with Brett Singer of @LBNL at #NHPC22

[Enterprise Community Partners @EnterpriseNow]

STUDY: Mechanical ventilation dramatically reduces indoor air pollution and could prevent thousands of deaths every year. Read our announcement in partnership with @NCHH and access the full report here: https://t.co/pVh2mrq7eT

[National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH) @NCHH]

PLEASE RT: We will never have healthy people in the U.S. unless we also have healthy homes. That's why it's critically important for Congress to prioritize investment in safer, healthier, and more affordable housing.

"a continuously running space heater that malfunctioned, two doors that did not self-close, and smoke detectors that ...[went] off so frequently that residents learned to ignore the false alarms." Solution: we "need adequate heat and better housing."

Why isn't every city doing this?

[Joseph Allen @j_g_allen]

Boston wastewater thru 1/11 (🧵)

-only added one more day of data since last post in this thread (1/10), but it's another good one - "boom and bust"
-great to see the Boston wastewater get so much attention these past 2 days in the press (why isn't every city doing this??)

[jonathan wilson @hthyhsgforall]

A follow up thread. More good reads.

[Michael Thomas @curious_founder]

Well that thread certainly took off.

Lots of questions about ventilation, what monitor I used, and what you should do if you have a gas stove.

So here's... another thread 🧵

https://t.co/BIKle668rV

[jonathan wilson @hthyhsgforall]

Important thread. Please read.

[Michael Thomas @curious_founder]

Over the last two months I've read dozens of studies about gas stoves and indoor air quality.

I also installed monitors in our home and ran my own tests.

Here's a thread on what I learned 🧵 #energytwitter

[Enterprise Community Partners @EnterpriseNow]

Congratulations to @LeadSafeCLE on this catalytic investment in Cleveland's future! @OhioEnterprise is proud to be part of this critical effort to make Cleveland homes lead-safe.
