Great initiative in Boston (US not Lincolnshire) to show realtime air quality data from schools

@plumeplotter @RADEBristol I did a build session with KWMC staff a long while back (before lockdown). They were hoping to run workshops of their own back then so it looks like that is getting off the ground now.

Did @AirApparentUK or @RADEBristol have anything to do with this?

Investors beginning to walk away from the huge emissions of wood burning power stations. If only the UK public could walk away from the multibillion pound subsidies the government has pumped in. #stopBurningStuff theguardian.com/business/2021/…

Hey @airrohr @SensorCommunity - you seen the new ESP Web Tools by @esphome_ ? Allows flashing of NodeMCU from a browser. Here's a quick demo which flashes the latest_en_DHT22.bin to an esp8266 connected via USB. sahmeepee.github.io/SensorWebFlash/

Bristol people - you may be able to help this initiative...

When shredding lots of paper, best to ensure adequate ventilation 😞😷 @airrohr #IAQ

In the US we spend approximately $15,000/year to educate a SINGLE student. To effectively reduce virus-laden particles in classroom air using portable HEPA filtration would add a whopping $7-10/student each year to this total. Two Grande Frappaccunios, folks. Proven technology.

@RobBryher Sure, will drop you a dm

Fantastic #PhD opportunity - Using #CitizenScience at the school gate to improve #AirQuality, working with schools and communities in Bradford/Sheffield. Very excited to be part of this great team Amy Barnes, @drrosiemc & @KirstyPringle2 #BiBBreathes findaphd.com/phds/project/i…

@IWantCleanAir2 @ColinTinker Scary to think of over half a tonne of wood being chopped down and the same amount being burned every second.

@ColinTinker @AirApparentUK It's only when you consider how slowly trees grow that the sheer lunacy of this policy becomes apparent.

Drax abandons plans to burn more gas (yay!) so they can burn more trees (🤦‍♂️) bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Sustainability claims from the biomass industry openaccessgovernment.org/biomass-indust…

@idlingaction @LDN_environment @CamdenCouncil @_CityAir Hmm, so PM is not a factor in this and almost all of the "pollution" is CO2 which is an environmental problem but not a direct health problem. The NOx emissions per minute are approx 40ml (about 1 golf ball). It seems that volume isn't a terribly useful measure of harm

@AirApparentUK @LDN_environment @CamdenCouncil @_CityAir Hi there, you can find the TRL report that the ad refers to on our website idlingaction.london

We are proud to launch our #EngineOff Every Stop campaign! Look out for our adverts on billboards across London, on radio and online. Want to find out more about tackling this unnecessary source of air pollution? Sign up to our launch webinar: eventbrite.co.uk/e/engines-off-…

A good article from @daisydunnesci covering the many flaws in classifying "biomass" as a renewable energy source. Really just a convenient swap for coal & govt's mates Drax Biomass power: Is the UK’s second-largest source of renewable energy sustainable? independent.co.uk/climate-change…

@morss_alex @BugBrand @dpcarrington Hi Alex! You're right that they don't measure everything, but the thing these do measure (pm2.5) is the most relevant for wood burning.

@RADEBristol @BristolCouncil @upourstreet @TheBristolCable @bbcrb @itvwestcountry @BristolLive @BristolLocalTV @bristol247 It is a step in the right direction, but when I first saw this on Facebook I was disappointed with how limp the main slogan is. "Slow" isn't very aspirational.

ALERT: RT #Bristol #easton #particulate #AirPollution #LocalAQ first the Good News - Thank you @BristolCouncil, then the Bad News, #woodburningstove owners still aren't listening. @upourstreet @TheBristolCable @bbcrb @itvwestcountry @BristolLive @BristolLocalTV @bristol247

@Zapaman @Zarch1972 @TrystanLea @SianiAnni55 @EcoHome_Lab Thanks!

@AirApparentUK @Zarch1972 @TrystanLea @SianiAnni55 @EcoHome_Lab Xaomi sensors x6, Hive thermostat temp feed and EmonTH.

So with 8 temperature sensors dotted around our house it made sense to try and work out some average temps for upstairs, downstairs and overall. Uses Average Sensor integration via HACS @Zarch1972 @TrystanLea @SianiAnni55 @EcoHome_Lab

Hope to get the 2nd up by Stokes Croft later this week.

I have written in the South Bristol Voice about the need to tackle air pollution and how #LiveableNeighbourhoods across #BS3 can create safer and healthier places for us all to live 🚲🚶🌳
