Providing venue ventilation for COVID-19 is a critical, overlooked problem, as we now know COVID-19 is spread via small droplet aerosols.

Ventilation plays an important role in preventing airborne infections. Opening a window helps, but real ventilation is about consistent airflow. CO₂ monitors can give a simple signal of how much shared air is building up indoors.

Share to help raise awareness. 💨🌿

Square graphic with a dark blue/gray background. Top left reads “whn.global”; top right reads “Clean Air.” Large tilted green banner headline: “Ventilation” isn’t just opening a window. Below, a CO₂ monitor screen shows 811 CO2 ppm with status Normal, time 13:54, and POA 84. Other readings on the screen: 36 (Noise, dB), 44.1 (RH, %), 3 (PM2.5, µg/m³), 24.0 (Temp, °C), 3 (PM10, µg/m³), 93 (eTVOC, VOC Index). Bottom text says: “Although that helps, real ventilation is about airflow: how much clean air moves through a space. More clean air means a safer space. CO₂ monitors show if fresh air is flowing — or if it’s time to do more.” Footer: “World Health Network - Science for a safer, healthier world.”

Despite what some have been saying, I do not hate in-person meetings. When they're safe, I design, facilitate, and attend them.

Attendees signing waivers that bind them forever not to sue if they contract #coronavirus. @OCCC — how can you honestly claim you are #MeetingSafely? How could you possibly know?

I had lunch today at a tiny restaurant which was crowded the whole time I was there. CO2 never got above 700, and most of the time it stayed below 600.
I can't imagine that's coincidence. The owner of that restaurant must have put conscious effort into ensuring adequate ventilation.
We could do this everywhere. Indoor air quality could be good in every indoor space.
Instead, we're just letting people get sick over and over.

#Hithium hat einen #Akkubrand in einem großen #Batteriespeicher unter Extrembedingungen getestet.

Offene Türen und ein deaktiviertes #Löschsystem sollten zeigen, wie sich Feuer bei hoher Sauerstoffzufuhr verhält. Verbesserte #Ventilation und feuerfeste #Modulabdeckungen sollten eine Ausbreitung verhindern. Zusätzliche #Trennwände und ein verstärkter #Stahlrahmen stabilisierten den Container. Der Speicher blieb nach dem Test strukturell intakt.

Two large semi-conical ventilation shafts sit side by side, one is taller, the other has a metal grille around its top. Both are made of weathered white concrete.

The image is a black and white photograph showing an individual working with large metal slats, which appear to be part of a construction or manufacturing process. The person is wearing work clothes including trousers, shoes, and what seems like protective gloves on both hands as they handle the metal components.

They are standing next to two vertical stacks of these slatted sheets that are likely being constructed into an enclosure or barrier system. Each stack consists of numerous horizontal lines indicating different panels within a larger unit. The background is somewhat blurred but shows signs of industrial surroundings, including various structures and possibly other equipment out of focus in the distance.

The image has historical significance as it depicts construction activities from approximately 1920-50s era based on its description "Construction of ventilators" by Horydczak. The person's attire suggests a working environment typical for early to mid-20th-century industrial settings, and their posture indicates manual labor or assembly work.

The photograph is part of the collection at National Gallery of Art, specifically within Mellon Gallery III as indicated in its source attribution. It represents an important period where such metal constructions were prevalent, likely connected with advancements in manufacturing techniques during that era.

The image shows a black and white photograph of an individual working on the construction or assembly of large metal ventilators in what appears to be an industrial workshop setting. The person is wearing protective gear, including gloves, overalls with suspenders, and possibly safety goggles around their neck. They are using tools to work meticulously on one of several panels that form part of the vent structure.

In the background, other similar vents or parts can be seen placed in various orientations, indicating an organized assembly area likely within a factory environment dedicated to producing such equipment. The overall atmosphere suggests manual labor and craftsmanship from what seems like early 20th-century industrial manufacturing practices.

A black and white photograph depicting a vintage industrial scene with two individuals operating heavy machinery, which appears to be part of an assembly line. The machine consists of large metal components arranged vertically in pairs, possibly indicating its use for manufacturing or construction purposes. Each pair is connected by chains or belts that transfer mechanical power from one component to another.
The image shows a man on the left side wearing casual work attire including trousers and a long-sleeved shirt with rolled-up sleeves, standing beside what seems like an elevated platform where his hands are placed near some components of the machine. Another individual is seen on the right interacting with parts of the machinery closer to ground level.
In the background, other industrial equipment can be observed alongside brick walls indicative of older building structures and large wooden beams above suggesting a spacious environment typical for manufacturing or maintenance activities during that era. The scene exudes an atmosphere characteristic of early 20th-century workshops where manual labor played a crucial role in industrial processes.

‘House burping’? Not heard it called that before…purge ventilation was the phrase I was taught.

Basically just open all your windows for about 10 to 15 mins - Germans do it all year round.

Does it work? Yes. Gets rid of stale air and water vapour.

Are other methods available? Trickle vents in windows, air bricks and extractor fans all help too.
