Sometimes being a #HealthAndSafety / #IAQ advocate can feel a little lonely, but I'm an eternal optimistic – and not without reason.
When I bring air quality monitors to events, and make the data easy to access, people respond. People here at #MatrixConf have been monitoring the air quality, adjusting ventilation, and noting when things are concerning. I never even had to ask!
The trick is making the invisible visible, and giving people the tools to make informed decisions.
... and in case you're curious, here are the live data feeds for the event!

Well gosh, I'm glad we required masks 😂 If we use this venue again (and we definitely will when we return to Berlin), I've got some ideas about how to manage airflow differently.
Annnnd the air quality monitoring array has been deployed at #MatrixConf! Can you guess which room the BarCamp is starting in? 😂
Tomorrow will be the real test of the venue's ventilation, as we're expecting about 4x the attendees that we have today.
We take the #HealthAndSafety of our community seriously and are requiring masks indoors this year. The data we collect will help us calibrate our approach with this venue when we return!

Addressing indoor air quality saves lives and helps us achieve at work, in school, and in self-governance.
Brain function declines by 15% as CO2 levels hit 945ppm, and by 50% at 1400ppm.
Have you ever measured CO2 at your desk or a contentious City Council meeting? What you find might surprise you!
These scientists recommend mandating clean air in public buildings, with 800ppm as the upper limit. That's good policy: science.org/doi/10.1126/scienc…
