Moving masks, tests, air cleaners, and other protective supplies through community relationships, with tools to coordinate inventory and delivery.
Futures
Clean air for all
Futures
community
Our mission is to defend public health and clean air as a human right and to build lasting transparent systems that protect people from airborne threats, now and for generations to come.
The PHAN Team
Education
Combatting misinformation and disinformation with evidenced based, transparent science and data.
Volunteer
Join us! We're actively looking for people to join our community in both formal and informal ways.
Projects
Provide open-source, open-data, open-science based toolsets. Check out our current project lineup.
Collaboration
We relish knowing how many amazing others are taking up the mantle in the current climate in order to protect clean air. Let's talk!
90% of Long Covid cases come from a "mild" SARS-COV-2 acute infection
School Impact
Schools: ~81 % of classrooms exceed 1,000 ppm CO₂ (i.e. under-ventilated), with median ~1,487 ppm in a 2,444-classroom study - conditions that correlate with 10–20 % declines in cognitive performance.
Economic Impact
Long COVID now imposes ~US$1 TRILLION/year in lost productivity globally (≈ 1 % of global GDP)
Health Impact
The COVID era has already cost the U.S. over US$16 TRILLION when combining lost output, premature death, and long-term impairments.
Labor Impact
~14 % of those with Long COVID failed to return to work within 3 months; >7 % missed >10 days of work in that period.
Projects and partnerships
From evidence to community action
Our projects share a commitment to public health, with overlapping interests in research, community protection, environmental information, and safer-air standards.
Moving masks, tests, air cleaners, and other protective supplies through community relationships, with tools to coordinate inventory and delivery.
An evidence and engagement platform bringing scientific literature, clinical-trial information, and clearly distinguished lived-experience sources into research conversations.
A visual research tool for exploring how room layout, occupants, airflow, and protective measures change modeled airborne exposure.
Connecting environmental observations across sources and places, with attention to timestamps, provenance, coverage, and what each signal can tell us.
A directory initiative connecting people with facilities, organizations, and services that report airborne-disease precautions and clean-air practices.
Joint work with Safer Air Project and RESET Standard to connect measurement, modeling, community experience, and understandable safer-air guidance.
