The Safer Air Project @saferairproject.bsky.social · 3d
We’re very happy to welcome Smart Air as sponsors for our November advocacy event. They've also very kindly offered to provide us with some portable air filters for the day, ensuring the air will be safer for everyone to share - a contribution we’re very grateful for.
Partnership announcement Smart Air We are honoured to partner with the Safer Air Project through our Air+ initiatives to bring clean air to everyone at the event. We hope this conference will help shift policymakers' views on the importance of indoor air quality in our society. We greatly appreciate the efforts of the Safer Air Project in driving this important change. – Anna GuoCEO and co-founderSmart Air

What do the data say about decorative mask chains?
Adding a chain didn’t really change the fit of N95, KF94, or KN95 masks.

A woman wearing a white face mask with a small decorative gold chain attached, standing against a plain white background. Bar chart comparing mask fit effectiveness with and without decorative chains. Results show almost no change in performance: 3M Aura 1870+ N95 blocked 99.75% of particles without a chain and 99.72% with one; Posh KF94 blocked 86.45% without and 88.90% with; 3M 9531A KN95 blocked 90.30% without and 90.47% with. Data and visualization by Smart Air, based on tests by Stealthy Jess.

In a study done in several cities in China, about 10.7% of new flu cases were related to exposure to PM2.5.

Screenshot of a research article discussing the relationship between air pollution and infectious diseases in China. A highlighted section notes that a multicity study in China found 10.7% of new influenza cases could be attributed to exposure to ambient particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5). It also mentions that air pollutants including PM2.5, sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) have been studied for their effects on influenza incidence.

Air purifiers cut missed school days by 12.5%. 💪
Screenshot of a study summary. It says air purifiers were installed in primary school classrooms to reduce children’s exposure to air pollution. The intervention reduced indoor PM₂.₅ by 32% and student absenteeism by 12.5%. It notes larger effects for students with higher absence before treatment, stronger impact when outdoor air pollution was lower, and smaller impact when outdoor pollution was high. Students reported fewer breathing problems and greater awareness of air quality. The cost per avoided missed school day was about €11, with a cost-benefit ratio of one-to-nine.

Illustration comparing normal breathing and sleep apnea. The left side shows a person with an open airway where air moves freely past the tongue, uvula, and soft palate. The right side shows a person with sleep apnea, where the airway is blocked by the soft palate and tongue, stopping airflow during sleep.

Breathing dirtier air can make sleep apnoea worse. More PM10 particles in the air are linked to more breathing stops during sleep. If you have sleep apnoea, keeping your indoor air clean is important for your health.

Focus, movement, hearing, and emotions — all can be harmed when children breathe polluted air. Early exposure weakens the brain connections that control these functions, and the effects can still be seen in the teen years.
An AI-generated image shows two young girls with backpacks walking away from the camera, holding hands on a residential street. The Smart Air logo is at the top center. Overlay text reads: 'Dirty Air Weakens Kids’ Brains for Hearing and Movement'.

47 million health workers signed a petition for clean air. This is about the same as the entire population of Spain. WHO says air pollution is the world’s second biggest health risk, causing 7 million deaths each year. Clean air is even more important than we think.

How do you use your air purifier — all day, or just when you’re home (like at night)? 🤔

Dust is more than just dirt—it’s skin cells, fibers, pollen, and more. Air purifiers capture floating dust and allergens, so less settles on your furniture and floors. You’ll still need to clean, but your home stays fresher for longer.

Children spend hours each day in #classrooms. Poor #airquality—especially high levels of CO₂—can make it harder for them to think, focus, and learn. Good ventilation and airflow help students stay healthy and learn better.
An AI-generated image depicts a classroom scene where a group of young students are seated at their desks. The lighting is somewhat dim, and the overall atmosphere appears subdued. In the foreground, a young child with blonde hair is visibly tired, resting their head on their desk. Other students in the background also seem disengaged or fatigued. In the upper center, the "Smart Air" logo is displayed. Overlaid text reads: "Bad Air in Class Reduces Student Focus and Scores".
