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

BPS has installed sensors in all BPS classrooms and is now releasing temperature/air quality sensor data/indicators from all BPS classrooms
You love to see it 🙌
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.

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.

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.

Sustainability claims from the biomass industry openaccessgovernment.org/bio…
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

On the 68 years anniversary of the haunting Great Smog of London, my new paper with @Jwheydon provides evidence on how @DefraGovUK certified woodstoves are flooding your living room with harmful particulate matter #AirPollution adobe.ly/3ozhYcg @granthamcsf @CivilSheffield – at Sheffield, England

"On average, goalkeepers account for about 10% of a soccer team. Of the 203 soccer players who got cancer, 119 (59%) are goalkeepers."
If true that is quite startling and hard to explain away.

Apart from containing 197 carcinogenic chemicals, they cannot be recycled at end of use and end up polluting and poisoning our world.
Please help raise public awareness, thank you.

The comments have further suggestions (no hot water bottles though!). Heated car seats are great and v efficient so heated cushions might be a good option.

Thursday night. "Bonfire Night" 33 locations in #Sheffield. Each dot an average of readings over 5 minutes at a given location. #BonfireNight2020 Table of locations sorted by Maximum value for the day.
Very high levels of PM2.5 #AirPollution in #Bristol and the rest of England tonight thanks to #BonfireNight and relatively calm winds.

Disappointingly no mention of @luftdaten @airrohr from @NatGeo
but still worth a read...

Poor air quality across Bristol this evening. These hexagons have mostly been green the last few months. @AirApparentUK @BCC_Clean_Air
