Als Verein INITIATIVE GESUNDES ÖSTERREICH setzen wir uns für #saubereLuft an Schulen, in Geschäften, Arztpraxen und allen öffentlichen Räumen ein.

Auch Zuhause hilft ein CO2-Messgerät beim Lüften: Man schläft viel besser bei 800 ppm als bei 3000 ppm, die es bei geschlossenem Fenster oft erreicht.

Here’s a link to the study. The lead author is Henry Oswin, former PhD student from that worked with me on Covid. He’s now doing a postdoc with Lidia Morawska.

Both Lidia and Henry are excellent writers, so this is a particularly engaging and easy read.

CO₂ thresholds matter:
In essence, the study emphasises that, 'clean indoor air matters because good ventilation reduces the build‑up of exhaled pollutants - including viruses - keeping people healthier, safer and more comfortable'.

We welcome this leadership. Our letter to UK education ministers, backed by national organisations, charities, public health experts and senior MPs calls for the same practical action.

Boston shows what is possible when indoor air quality is taken seriously.

The UK is asking for action.

Beeindruckende Schweizer Studie zum Ansteckungsrisiko in Schulklassen:
In den Klassen verbrachte Zeit und Luftqualität sind maßgeblich, geringer Abstand zu einer infizierten Person viel weniger.

Ansteckung geschieht eben über Aerosole.

By measuring the CO2 level in a room, you can determine the level of investment made in its ventilation and therefore the importance given to the comfort and health of its occupants. Our interpretation is below.

Comparing the data with such studies done in schools it shows that aside from some concert venues or pubs there are barely any places with worse air quality then schools of many countires - it’s hard to call this anything other than a complete societal disregard for children.
