Third day in the new building offgassing VOCs. I now have a headache 😳 #IEQ #VOCs

Common household building materials and cleaners emit #VolatileOrganicCompounds, or #VOCs. Here's what you should know.

we demonstrated that all #SARSCoV2 #VOCs possess the ability to suppress #MHCI expression.

MHC-I upregulation was strongly inhibited after SARS-CoV-2 but not influenza virus infection

#Omicron subvariants showed an enhanced ability to suppress MHC-I compared to the original strain & the earlier SARS-CoV-2 VOCs

inherently strong ability of SARS-CoV-2 to hinder MHC-I expression & demonstrated that Omicron subvariants have evolved an even more optimized capacity to evade CD8 T cell recognition.

I'd like a unit that has cheaper filters that can be changed more often. Additionally, I'd like some VOC filtration in as well as particulates, but this may be better handled by a separate unit. The AA Health Mate comes with a charcoal prefilter - this seemed to work only ~ 4-6 wks. I had thought about making a new prefilter out of similar looking material available on Amazon, but wasn't sure about whether this would cause issues. #VOCs

#LowVOCadhesives are those with a low level of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These adhesives find applications in a variety of industries, including woodworking, automotive, and aerospace. #VOCs are compounds that evaporate at room temperature and are potentially hazardous to human health and the environment. Low VOC #adhesives are becoming more popular as more businesses strive to reduce their environmental impact.

It is absurd to use the human lung as a vacuum cleaner for the #pollution generated by #cars.

"As car manufacturers have cleaned up the emissions coming from cars it became clear that the Volatile Organic Compounds (#VOCs) were clearly coming from somewhere else."

“#Gasoline is stored in closed, hopefully airtight, containers [.....] personal care products are literally designed to evaporate. You wear #perfume or use #scented products so that you or your neighbor can *enjoy the aroma. You don’t do this with gasoline,”

*their word.
