Initial Signatories required for
a CDN Gov Petition to Clean Indoor Air in Canada

I need the legal names and email addresses of approximately ten CDN citizens to post the petition for online distribution and digital signatures. DM me. Thank you! Please share.

MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, (Liberal, Beaches—East York), has agreed to sponsor this petition.

Once online, we will need 500 signatures to get it presented in the House of Commons. Stay tuned!

An e-petition urging the Government of Canada to adopt ASHRAE Standard 241, Control of Infectious Aerosols, into the Canadian National Building Code (NBC) and initiate a national retrofit program for healthcare facilities, schools, and public spaces, integrated with energy-efficient heat pump programs. As a respected advocate for evidence-based health and environmental policies, your leadership is critical to advancing this transformative initiative.

Silent Spring, Summer of Lies

What goes through the minds of public health folks when they lift all mitigations in the face of a rapidly spreading wave of new variants that are even more immune, evasive, and durable and cause ongoing issues with all that are infected?

Dems, Greens, Indie voters, everyone-- please take a few moments to write to your #House #Senate and #WH representation to pass a set of clean air quality incentives! #IAQ

There's a well-written form letter and your representatives will be automatically filled in based on your zip code. It takes all of 2-3 minutes if you send the form letter, maybe a few more if you want to tailor the verbiage in support of #ashrae241 clean air recommendations.

Tell Your Members of Congress to Support the Airborne Act of 2024

Join me to fight for Rep. Don Beyer’s Airborne Act, and urge strengthening its infection control standard with ASHRAE 241. Send a personalized letter to your members of Congress! Congressman Don Beyer (D-VA) announced the reintroduction of the Airborne Act. This law would encourage non-residential building owners to check indoor air quality (IAQ) and upgrade their ventilation and air filtration systems. The bill, HR 9000, uses the tax code to give building owners incentives to do these checks and upgrades, making our workplaces and public indoor spaces safer from airborne diseases, wildfire smoke, and pollution. However, this bill should be updated to include more incentives to meet ASHRAE Standard 241. That new 2023 air quality standard was created for the "Control of Infectious Aerosols" at the request of the White House. ASHRAE Standard 241 is much better at reducing airborne pathogens than ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2022. (ASHRAE is an association of engineers that sets standards for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.) We deserve the best ventilation standards to protect against pandemics and pollution. Please customize your letter for greater impact and call your members of Congress. #CleanAir is a human right. Let’s show our support!

Intro to CO2 Monitoring

by Joey Fox

WHAT’S GOOD FOR AIRBORNE DISEASES?

It is possible to have high CO2 but a low risk of airborne disease transmission. Nevertheless, if ventilation is the only mitigation measure used, based on clean airflow rates required in ASHRAE 241, the expected CO2 concentrations would be: ( see image below )

Intro to CO2 Monitoring - It’s Airborne

CO2, or carbon dioxide, is a gas that is found in the air. Measuring CO2 can help assess indoor air quality. The concentration of CO2 outdoors is typically around 420 parts per million (ppm) or…

Keeping Kids in School
with Clean Air using ASHRAE 241

With the school year approaching, we need a proper plan to ensure our schools are healthy environments. We now have ASHRAE standard 241 to control infectious aerosols. Here’s how it can be implemented at schools.

Open Letter from Protect Our Province BC to the BC Government Urging A Safe Return to School in September 2023 - Protect Our Province B.C.

To BC Premier Dave Eby, Health Minister Adrian Dix, Education Minister Rachna Singh, and to all BC parents: Unbelievably, we are approaching the fourth unsafe return to school during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In September, BC parents will be sending their children back to school just as newer recombinant SARS-CoV-2 variants will be circulating. As… Continue reading Open Letter from Protect Our Province BC to the BC Government Urging A Safe Return to School in September 2023
