[liminalweirdo]

over 20,000 people in the United States died of Covid-19 since the beginning of 2024. Millions who avoided death are nonetheless still living with Long Covid, and this number grows each month. We are still in crisis.

Most importantly, though, implementing accessibility measures during an active pandemic is the right thing to do, as it makes events safer for everyone. Black communities, people of color, the disability community at large, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and low-income communities continue to be especially hard-hit by the pandemic and the abandonment of Covid-19 precautions. The pandemic reproduces the very forms of ableism, classism, and racism that existed before 2020. There are millions of already systemically marginalized people who are being further pushed out of public life. This is unjust, and we must do better. 

[However,] a blueprint for radical inclusion and living a full, safer life within the context of Covid-19 exists.

source

Install HEPA filters in your space. Installing a plug-in air purifier in your space is a great place to begin. Because almost all public spaces currently fall short of the ventilation needed for Covid-19 safety, it’s safe to assume that your space would also benefit from this efficient first step. Make sure it’s appropriately sized for your space and continuously running. If funds allow, upgrade your HVAC system to include HEPA filtration.

Practice mask requirements. Consider requiring and providing high-quality masks for everyone who will be in your space and attending your events. Contrary to popular belief, mask requirements do not deter guests in any meaningful numbers. Clean Air Club has been hosting Covid-safer events in Chicago for over a year, and a majority of the mask-required events sell out every time. If obtaining masks for your event is cost-prohibitive, check in with your local mask bloc for assistance.

Collect and share data on the safety of your space and region. Collect data on the ventilation in your space using a carbon dioxide (CO2) monitor. The higher the number, the more attention you need to pay to improving the ventilation and air purification in the space. Open windows and doors, crank up the HVAC, and plug in another purifier. You’ll know you’ve succeeded when the CO2 levels in your space are close to the levels expected outdoors in fresh air (around 400 ppm). As a bonus, this improved ventilation and purification will remediate poor air quality due to climate-change induced wildfires, improve concentration, and aid in accommodating disabling conditions such as asthma and allergies. Data collection should also include monitoring wastewater data, now our most accurate picture of the true prevalence of Covid-19 and other wastewater-monitored viruses in our population at any given time. We can use this data to increase the number of mitigation strategies adopted when wastewater levels are high. Consider creating an internal chart at your organization that lists protocols associated with different wastewater levels, reducing the burden of communication and oversight during higher periods.

Consider additional mitigation layers. Some of the other layers of protection from the swiss cheese model include: pre-event testing, far-UVC lights, providing options for virtual participation, and asking guests to stay home if they’re showing any symptoms of contagious or novel illness. Consider promoting individualized mitigation approaches within your organizations, such as the usage of nasal spray and CPC mouthwash. The key is to remain creative, flexible, and open to adding layers of protection in response to changing risk levels in the environment.

Open up lines of communication. As you implement mitigation layers, communicate them to your community. Ask them how they’ve been impacted by Covid-19 and give people space to share their access needs and ideas. This will provide a crucial why behind your actions and investments. Using the accessibility principle of designing for the highest possible need, your virus safety plan should accommodate the most vulnerable and impacted community members rather than those who have high risk thresholds or behave as though the pandemic is over. Part of effective pandemic communication includes providing accessibility and virus safety information in an Access Note or in an Accessibility Guide. This information should be repeated often in marketing and outreach materials.

the air purifier advice please 🙏

hello!!!!! yes, i will info dump some of the things i come across at work everyday, hopefully it helps!

Quick overview on how air purifiers work: ok so purifiers don't "kill" bacteria/particles which is a lot of the marketing you'll see, air purifiers take in air, filter out particles, and push out clean air back into your home so you don't breathe in the dangerous particles: it's all about airflow (created with a strong motor) and filter type

ONLY trust HEPA and activated carbon filters. every other "technology" out there is not sound, there's no definitive research that proves the effectiveness of any other tech on the market. at best it's ineffective, at worst it's dangerous, i wouldn't trust any of it. some common types of technologies to avoid: ozone generators, ionizers, uv light, when a company has their own "patented tech" that isn't HEPA or carbon

HEPA: this targets airborne particles. dust, pet dander, mold spores, pollen, smoke particles

ACTIVATED CARBON: this targets gasses, volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), odors, smoke odors

Try to find a purifier that's going to cover a lot of your home or at least an entire room - they're portable so I suggest moving them around during the day if you can and bringing them into your bedroom at night.

Finding a purifier that covers your home/room: suggested air changes per hour (ACH) is 4.8 - many companies will list 1 ACH for their square foot coverage to make it seem like it can cover a lot, and it's just not true. Companies SHOULD be sharing their clean air delivery rate (CADR) information that is connected to ENERGY STAR and is tested by the regulatory agency so they cannot fudge their numbers, if they don't share this information it's a red flag

Check CADR and square foot coverage at 4.8 ACH for a product HERE

For example: an air purifier that can clean 1,000 sq ft in 60 minutes with 1 ACH, can clean 500 sq ft in 30 minutes with 2 ACH, and 80 sq ft in 12.5 minutes with 4.8 ACH (it's confusing, i know, but it's important to have a purifier(s) strong enough to clean your indoor space)

Air quality sensors built into purifiers are cheap, i don't trust them to accurately portray your indoor air quality readings, also the apps are...awful: the markets been flooded with smart purifiers it's tough to find one that DOESN'T have an app attached to it. there's nothing wrong with a smart purifier, its up to the user, but its that they can up the price with the add-ons that don't help the main goal of your purifier: clean your indoor air and create healthy indoor air quality in your home

Cross ventilation helps, open those windows!!! air out your home!!! but don't open them on high pollen count or bad air quality days or if you're located near high pollution or close to an active wildfire or smoke. you can check US location air quality HERE ALSO, don't run your air purifiers while you have the windows open. they'll try to clean the outside airflow too, rendering it pretty ineffective.

Look for certifications!!! ENERGY STAR, AHAM, CARB, INTERTEK - these are independent safety and performance certifications that companies have to go through a testing process to receive them, it's not just marketing these are regulations and are standard - if a company doesn't share these results or aren't certified MAJOR red flag

Run those purifiers 24/7!!!!! If they're ENERGY STAR certified (they should be, look for the logo!!) it shouldn't affect your energy bill in a significant way

Just because a purifier costs more doesn't mean it performs better!! just focus on the air cleaning ability: the thing a purifier IS MEANT TO DO: and try to forget about the rest

Unfortunately, a good purifier is always going to be a bit of an investment. the mini purifiers out there and the wearable ones just do not do anything, i wish they did, but filters need surface area to be effective, they're too small, and the motor isn't efficient.

Good news is there should be some very good sales coming up in november!!!! stay safe!!

"wow wildfire air in my house sucks to breathe" -so true bestie.

This is a diy air purifier, haven't tried this myself so i can't speak for its effectiveness, but a quick Google search told me that diy corsi-rosenthal boxes are a thing.

Alternatively, if it's affordable and accessible, this is the air purifier model I got (using amazon link just cuz that's the easiest for me to pinpoint which model it was). It's good for allergens and dust too.

If you're shopping for an air purifier, or any filters, I heard to make sure you get the TRUE HEPA filters, not just HEPA. My teacher suffered from intense allergies and lung sensitivities so they had to get the right air purifier for him, and he let me know that there's a difference between HEPA and True HEPA -- he recommends True HEPA. But after doing a bit more digging, there's some discussion whether "True" HEPA is an actual improvement or just a marketing gimmick. So researching what works and is accessible for you is the way to go.

When circulating the air, make sure your windows are closed so that you don't draw more smokey air from outside.

From my experience, air purifiers tend to make the air very dry. If you have a humidifier, don't use it and the purifier at the same time, which makes both of them less effective. Instead, rotate their usage so that they run one at a time.

At the end of the day, do make sure you do your own research, but I hope this at least helps a bit

@cedarsmokesrandoms I use the large NOMA air purifier which I got at Canadian tire

Here’s the American website

They also make one for small rooms but this one filters 177 cubic feet per minute and on its lowest setting it is completely silent I actually thought it wasn’t running when I set it up. On high it is quite loud but it fades in to the background to me the same way that my fridge or fishtank sounds do. It can be set to auto so it stays on low until the air quality changes then auto speed goes up to compensate but because those settings are designed for human lungs I opt to keep it on medium or high most of the time.

Edit: oh and it does have an ionizer so that switch just needs to be flipped to off before using it in a bird home

i do not know how i will have a future. ive been trying to do more mask research but im so overwhelmed and so, so exhausted. the few reliable sources i had been able to turn to in order to try to accurately gauge my risk level are continuously waning; due to plummeting testing i can only rely on wastewater data, which is entirely incongruent with the vastly underreported transmission rates. everything is lit up green for “low” levels of transmission yet wastewater data shows massive spikes over the winter. xbb 1.5 is said to be ripping through the nation but i dont know how to verify those claims or what to do about it. and most of all, it has been collectively decided that the pandemic is ‘over’, with “china being the last holdout”, despite covid being the leading cause of death among children and 10k people dying of covid this month alone in japan. 

people have thrown up their hands and essentially said “well, this is life now! so fuck those people who’ll die. what do you expect us to do?” even more devastating is that it’s true that people will refuse to mask or get boosted, even if mandated, they will no longer give a fuck. the only thing that can change is the environment via air purifiers and hepa filters, and a hope for either a cure or a fully ironclad vaccine that reduces both infection and transmission--genuine immunity. 

but until we have those things it’s just... fuck me, i guess? i just dont get to go anywhere or do anything without risking my life every time, huh. well, i guess it’s all im worth anyhow. people probably going ‘the dumb bitch was suicidal anyway, just give her what she wants!’ so if i do make it to blizzcon, if they truly will have one this year, i guess i can just roll the dice and let it kill me. it’s not like i have anything else to offer this world, right? 

so much of this life ive lived yoked and trapped and suppressed and scared and beaten down... and for what? to not know myself, to stay hidden, to crawl out of the depths only to surface in an irradiated wasteland. dug myself out of my cell with whatever spoons i had, just to emerge in a toxic dump. the fuck was i even born for.

How to Choose the Right Air Purifier for Your Newborn’s Room

Creating a healthy and nurturing environment for your newborn is every parent’s top priority. Among many considerations, ensuring that the air quality in your baby’s room is pure and free from harmful particles is critical. Babies have sensitive respiratory systems, and clean air can help reduce the risk of allergies, respiratory infections, and other health issues. This guide will help you choose the best air purifier for your newborn’s room, with a focus on key features like low noise levels, no ozone emissions, high filtration efficiency, and proper usage.

Why Clean Air Matters for Newborns

Babies’ immune systems and lungs are still developing, which makes them more susceptible to airborne pollutants than adults. Their respiratory rate is also faster, meaning they breathe in more air relative to their body size. Exposure to indoor air pollutants, such as dust, pollen, pet dander, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other allergens, can trigger symptoms like coughing, sneezing, and irritation in newborns. Investing in an air purifier designed for newborns can help create a safer, healthier space for them.

Key Features to Look For in an Air Purifier for a Newborn’s Room

When selecting an air purifier for your newborn’s room, keep the following essential features in mind:

1. High Filtration Efficiency

True HEPA Filter: A high-quality air purifier should include a True HEPA filter, which captures 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns, including allergens, dust, mold spores, and pet dander. This feature is crucial for reducing respiratory irritants and promoting healthier air quality for newborns.

Activated Carbon Filter: To remove odors and harmful gases (like VOCs from cleaning products or furniture), look for a purifier with an activated carbon filter. This feature is especially important in a nursery where the air should be as clean and fresh as possible.

2. Low Noise Levels

Newborns are sensitive to sound, and a loud purifier can disrupt their sleep. Aim for an air purifier with a noise level below 30 decibels (dB) on the lowest setting. Many air purifiers offer a “sleep mode” that operates at reduced noise levels, ideal for nighttime operation in your baby’s room.

Fan Speed Adjustability: Choosing a model with multiple fan speeds allows you to control the noise level, adjusting it based on your baby’s activity and sleep schedule.

3. No Ozone Emissions

Some air purifiers use ozone to neutralize particles, but ozone can be harmful, especially for young children. Ozone-producing purifiers are not recommended for nurseries. Instead, look for models that use mechanical filters like HEPA and activated carbon without any ozone emissions.

Ozone-Free Certifications: Opt for an air purifier certified by reputable organizations (like CARB or the EPA) for being safe and ozone-free.

4. Compact and Space-Saving Design

Newborn rooms are often small, so a compact air purifier can fit better and avoid clutter. Portable models are also convenient, allowing you to move the purifier easily if needed.

Coverage Area Suitability: Ensure the air purifier’s coverage matches the size of your baby’s room. Most manufacturers specify the coverage area; ideally, choose a model that can efficiently clean a space similar to your nursery’s size.

Placement Tips for Air Purifiers in a Baby’s Room

Correct placement of the air purifier is key to maximizing its effectiveness. Here are a few guidelines:

Position Away from the Crib: Place the purifier at a distance from the crib to prevent any direct airflow toward your newborn. This helps avoid any cold drafts and ensures the purifier functions optimally.

Elevate Slightly Off the Ground: Placing the purifier on a small table or stand can help it capture dust and other particles that settle on the floor, which is particularly useful if you have carpets or rugs.

Keep Airflow Unobstructed: To allow for proper airflow, avoid placing the purifier behind furniture or near walls. A 2-3 foot clearance on each side is typically recommended for best performance.

Place Near Common Pollutant Sources: If you have a window or a diaper-changing station in the nursery, position the purifier closer to these areas to capture particles from outside air or diaper changes.

Usage Guidelines for Maintaining Clean Air in Your Baby’s Room

To ensure your newborn always breathes clean air, it’s important to use the air purifier effectively:

Continuous Operation: For best results, consider running the air purifier continuously, especially if the room is often closed off. Continuous filtration helps keep the air free from pollutants that may accumulate when the purifier is turned off.

Nighttime Sleep Mode: If the purifier has a nighttime or sleep mode, use it during naps and nighttime sleep. This will maintain clean air without disturbing your baby’s rest.

Regular Filter Replacement: Keep track of the purifier’s filter replacement schedule. Over time, filters lose effectiveness, so follow the manufacturer’s guidelines on changing filters (typically every 6-12 months for HEPA filters and every 3-6 months for carbon filters).

Monitor Air Quality Indicators: Some air purifiers come with air quality sensors that monitor particulate levels and VOCs. If your model has this feature, monitor the indicator to understand when the air quality is lower and adjust the purifier settings accordingly.

Additional Considerations for Newborn-Safe Air Purifiers

Here are a few extra features to consider when choosing an air purifier:

Child Lock Feature: If your baby becomes curious and starts exploring the room, a child lock feature on the air purifier can prevent them from accidentally changing settings.

Energy Efficiency: Since you may run the purifier continuously, choose an energy-efficient model to help save on electricity costs.

Smart Connectivity: Some modern purifiers come with app connectivity, allowing you to monitor air quality, adjust settings, and receive filter replacement reminders from your smartphone. This can be convenient for busy parents.

Creating a Healthy Air Environment Beyond the Air Purifier

While an air purifier is essential, consider additional steps to maintain clean air in the nursery:

Regular Cleaning: Dust and vacuum the room frequently to prevent dust and allergens from accumulating. A vacuum with a HEPA filter can help capture fine particles.

Limit Synthetic Fragrances: Avoid using air fresheners, scented candles, and other products with synthetic fragrances. They can emit VOCs and irritate newborns.

Control Humidity: High humidity can promote mold growth, while low humidity can dry out the airways. Aim to keep humidity levels between 40-60%. A humidifier with an integrated hygrometer can help you maintain this balance.

Choosing the Right Air Purifier Brand for Your Baby’s Room

When choosing an air purifier, selecting a reputable brand with certifications and positive customer reviews can give you confidence in your purchase. Look for brands that emphasize child safety, have been tested for performance, and meet international safety and health standards. Brands that provide transparent information about their filters, ozone emissions, and noise levels show a commitment to product quality and safety.

Conclusion

Choosing the right air purifier for your newborn’s room can be a powerful step toward ensuring a safe, clean breathing environment for your little one. Focus on essential features like HEPA filtration, low noise levels, and ozone-free operation to promote restful sleep and cleaner air. By selecting the appropriate model and using it correctly, you’ll create a nursery that not only supports your newborn’s health but also provides peace of mind for you as a parent.
