During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, reliable masks and other protective equipment became scarce. Supply chains broke down, shipments of desperately needed masks were diverted and counterfeit PPE flooded the market…🧵1/7

‘Thank you’ graphic (the words “Thank you” appear in large font in upper-righthand column), containing the following text message within the image: For the past three years, we have worked to bring reliable respiratory protection to anyone who needs it. However, the time has come for Project N95 to wind down operations. Fortunately, we are still here to help through the holidays. Our nonprofit shop will make its final sales on December 15, 2023 and we will continue donating masks to those in need through 2023. It's been our honor to serve you. Ending with a graphic of the Project N95 logo... Health care workers found themselves facing impossible odds as they cared for overwhelming numbers of patients with little or no protective gear.
It was in response to this crisis that Project N95 began…

Welcome to our 🧵on clean indoor air! Each Monday we’ll post threads about indoor air quality (IAQ) and its significance to health. We’ll cover the composition of air, how to measure harmful elements, and how to improve unhealthy indoor air. 1/6

#IAQ #IndoorAir #AirQuality Demistifying Clean Indoor Air, Introduction, The Air We Brea We can’t see or touch the air around us. However, it’s key to the planet and to life. It surrounds the earth and provides a protective, insulating cushion. It contains gasses vital to life: oxygen, carbon dioxide, water vapor and nitrogen. 2/6 (image:earth) https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2491/10-interest

By @MRSmithAP for @AP:
“The high numbers of deaths from COVID-19, guns & other causes are difficult to fathom & can start to feel like background noise, disconnected from the individuals whose lives were lost & the families whose lives were forever altered”bit.ly/3wKfSNR “There are many parallels between the U.S. response to COVID-19 and its response to the gun violence epidemic, says Sonali Rajan, a prof. at Columbia Univ. who researches school violence.

‘We have long normalized mass death in this country…’ she says,”

“On Thursday, @CDCgov recommended those living in communities w/ high levels of infection wear face #masks indoors in public settings, even though the federal mask mandate is no longer in effect after it was overturned by a federal judge.”
bit.ly/3GbtGnm “Research shows that #masks, if used correctly, can be a valuable tool for reducing the spread of the virus. But the CDC’s #mask recommendation for people living in areas w/ high risks of Covid-19 this week was met with mixed responses online…”

Whoa! TY @ZekeEmanuel!
@KatyTurNBC re: your #KN95 - OK for #Omicron?
GB2626-2019 is latest (Chinese) standard (good sign!) but they aren’t regulated by CDC-NIOSH, so get KN95s from a trusted source (like us).
For BEST fit on face, upgrade to head-strap #N95s, w/ @NIOSH_NPPTL cert It’s why we think a trusted marketplace so you can have confidence in the quality of the #Masks you buy is impt.
“For K-N95 masks, @crosscutanne said the mask should say: ‘GB 2626 - 2019 then a space & then K-N95. If it doesn’t have that printed…it is not made to the standard.’”
