Jonathan E CowperthwaitMystery solved: my neighbors were shooting a porno. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Mission" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mission</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/PurpleAir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PurpleAir</a>

Jonathan E CowperthwaitStupid insomnia mystery: woke up just now to every air purifier in my house screaming at full tilt. I don’t smell anything amiss (smoke?, neighbor bacon?) and my neighborhood — 94110, central SF <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Mission" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mission</a> — looks fine on <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/PurpleAir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PurpleAir</a>. I’ve cracked some windows and power-cycled the purifiers, but no dice; they all roar back to life. <a href="https://map.purpleair.com/air-quality-standards-us-epa-aqi?opt=%2F1%2Flp%2Fa10%2Fp604800%2FcC0#13.58/37.74878/-122.41533" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://map.purpleair.com/air-quality-standards-us-epa-aqi?opt=%2F1%2Flp%2Fa10%2Fp604800%2FcC0#13.58/37.74878/-122.41533</a>

Violet MadderIt's time to start digging in to my mask project! I need good, solid resources to back up a presentation I'll be giving to the local public. What are the most reliable and ethical doctors, journalists, advocates, research, statistics, or sites that you've seen? I'll be talking about air quality, advocating environmental justice through citizen science and mutual aid, and my focus is going to be ventilation and masking.The program is organized by a local group of folks that started putting up air sensors all over town because of toxic chemical leaks from nearby refineries. They got a grant through a university, and they may be able to help me out in getting an air quality sensor so I can test the CO2 in local buildings. I'd also like to be able to pass out some mask samples. I've been trying to find info on other things like sip valves, elastomeric respirator exhaust valve filter adapters, good sites to buy masks and so on. Since these issues got politicized and the CDC and WHO are increasingly corrupt/hamstrung, finding good info is a fuckin MESS. I could really use some help! What's been very interesting to me is, the folks who promote masking are usually ALSO right on other issues. Masks are required at the local anarchist book fairs, for example, which to me says a LOT. The people I follow here on Mastodon who are solidly against genocide, fascism, capitalism, and lesser evilism are the SAME people who are solidly for issues like universal healthcare, right to repair, accessibility, direct action, labor organizing, etc etc-- you have a moral consistency that inspires my respect and hope, and I want to learn more from you!

Rick ThomanWidespread poor air quality Saturday evening across much of the Northwest Territories due to wildfire smoke.

SheldonMerry Christmas! But, maybe don’t burn that Yule log when there’s an inversion layer trapping in pollution?The air quality in Nor Cal in general is a bit low from numerous factors today, but the way the worst readings are scattered suggest there are a lot of people celebrating the holiday by burning wood. Ugh for all of us who have asthma and other breathing issues. I got caught off guard with a direct stream of wood smoke yesterday while I was running and it took me about 12 hours to stop coughing. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/PurpleAir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PurpleAir</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/AirQuality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AirQuality</a>

SheldonWell this sucks. The wildfire smoke from the northernmost part of California and from Oregon is hitting my area real hard totally out of the blue. I was sitting around and all of a sudden my eyes burned and throat was uncomfortable. Then I checked <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/PurpleAir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PurpleAir</a> and realized why. This is supposed to continue for a few days. I hope that ends up being wrong. I’ve got an outdoor event coming up this week. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/airquality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#airquality</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/sfba" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sfba</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/norcal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#norcal</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/wildfires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildfires</a>

John Gordon 📷Kids walked home from school and said it was really smoky outside. Just checked the map and saw this. Then got the text saying tonight’s soccer practice for my daughter was canceled. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/California" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#California</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/wildfires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildfires</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/aqi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aqi</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/purpleAir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#purpleAir</a>

Jeff Forcierlol, so the <a href="https://social.coop/tags/PurpleAir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PurpleAir</a> sensor:- uses adhoc wifi for configuration (fine) - disables that SSID once configured w/ your wifi (great) - auto-updates firmware anytime it can get to purpleair.com (not great) - the ”configuration check” re: when to turn the SSID back on for reconfiguration is…”can I get to purpleair.com?” (ugh)so I’m forced to decide, would I rather:- have them phone-home/auto-update - have them all broadcasting passwordless SSIDs someone could use to pivot into my network😩

Kelsey JordahlFor those not familiar with <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/PurpleAir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PurpleAir</a>, they have a nice network of individuals running sensors.Air quality is really horrendous in the NYC area right now. AQI index values over 300 are considered "hazardous", the worst category, and that is most of the dots on the map.<a href="https://map.purpleair.com/1/mAQI/a10/p604800/cC0#10.1/40.7515/-73.9113" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://map.purpleair.com/1/mAQI/a10/p604800/cC0#10.1/40.7515/-73.9113</a>

Kelsey JordahlI was pleased to discover that there is a <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/PurpleAir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PurpleAir</a> integration for <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> and a free-to-sign up API, so I can add the closest local sensor to my monitoring. I would still like to get my own sensor (especially for indoors), but this is a nice start.<a href="https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/purpleair/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/purpleair/</a>
