Day 123 – Back to Nairobi

We woke up early this morning as Concierge told us to try and start sorting out our flights at 8:30am, when the Kenya Airways guy would be in the Zanzibar office. S protested and said the guy would not be in by 9am. Sure enough, he wasn’t in until 9am. However, he turned out to be surprisingly helpful. He even exchanged Whatsapp details with J so we could have an open line of communication. He gave us an option to leave today at 5pm on a different airline to Nairobi, spend 22 hours in Nairobi and leave on our previously scheduled flight to Cape Town. This did not sound all that pleasant. Nairobi is having a surge in COVID, has shut down all domestic flights and this seemed to S to be a bit risky. Our only other option was the 4-stop flight on Ethiopian.

After weighing the options, we decided to roll the dice and spend 22 hours in Nairobi. We rebooked the flights, organised transit e-visas, organised our old friend, the Tamarind Tree hotel, where we previously stayed twice on this trip, and completed health declarations. We also identified a back-up plan in case the Nairobi to Cape Town flight doesn’t work.

We ordered in room service, which was fine, and packed. Dulla picked us up as planned and we headed to the airport. We joined the scrum in front of international departures and were ushered to the front of the queue and let in through a VIP line. We don’t know why. Most everyone else was Russian. We were flying Precision Air, which has no lounge, so we had to sit with all the Russians. The departures area was so packed, people were sitting next to one another and standing around. There was no social distancing, or even the possibility of social distancing and none of the Russians were wearing masks. Buying drinks at the only food counter was quite an experience as we had to fight through another scrum. Queuing is a word that does not appear to exist in the Russian language.

We almost missed our flight as there was a large group of Russians pre-queuing for a different Precision Air flight, which J mistook for our boarding queue. Thankfully, driven by a suspicion honed by millions of miles of travel, S went to the front of the queue and realised the flight was mostly boarded and these people were just standing around in front of a gate. S screamed for J to get to the gate, while they held the door.

We got on a shuttle bus that took us to our plane. The plane was a seemingly new ATR turbo prop. It was a short flight to Nairobi and pretty smooth. Surprisingly, there was even some cabin service, but no cold beer. Cashews seem to be plentiful here.

The Nairobi arrivals procedures were pretty smooth for us, but not for those people who did not complete their health forms and get their QR codes. By the time we got to baggage claim, S was again suspicious as J said the bags were coming out on carousel B, which was empty and not moving. S asked her to check carousel A, because he thought he saw one of our bags. Sure enough, there they were.

We were picked up by the hotel transport. That was much less smooth as the 20-minute trip took an hour due to heavy traffic. There was no AC and we couldn’t open the windows due to the amount of diesel fumes being produced by vehicles that wouldn’t pass US or UK emissions standards. The heavy traffic was due to the fact that everyone was trying to get home by 8pm to comply with curfew laws. Hotel check-in was smooth and they remembered us from our prior two stays on this trip. We stayed in a different room, which had the exact same layout as the prior two rooms. We were both exhausted so we tried to go to sleep. Emphasis on the word ‘try’ as J’s allergic reaction was bothering her again.

Air purifier reviews

Please Note: EPA neither certifies nor recommends particular brands of home air cleaning devices. While some home air cleaning devices may be useful in some circumstances, EPA makes no broad endorsement of their use, nor specific endorsement of any brand or model. This document describes performance characteristics associated with several types of air cleaners sold to consumers for home use. It does not discuss the effectiveness of air cleaners installed in the HVAC systems of large buildings, such as apartments, offices, schools, or public buildings.

Under Federal pesticide law, manufacturers of ozone generators must list an EPA establishment number on the packaging. This number merely identifies the facility that manufactured the product. Display of this number implies neither EPA endorsement nor that EPA has found the product to be safe or effective. Some portable air cleaners sold in the consumer market are ENERGY STAR® qualified. Please note the following disclaimer on their packaging: “This product earned the ENERGY STAR by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by EPA. EPA does not endorse any manufacturer claims of healthier indoor air from the use of this product.

Understanding the Types of Air Cleaning Devices

Before deciding whether to use an air cleaning device, several questions should be considered:

What types of pollutants can an air cleaner remove?

How is the performance of an air cleaner measured?

Will air cleaning reduce adverse health effects?

What other factors should I consider?

These questions will be addressed in the next few pages.

How is the Performance of an Air Cleaner Measured? There are different ways to measure how well air cleaning devices work, which depend on the type of device and the basic configuration. Air cleaning devices are configured either in the ductwork of HVAC systems (i.e., in-duct) or as portable air cleaners. In-duct Particle Removal Most mechanical air filters are good at capturing larger airborne particles, such as dust, pollen, dust mite and cockroach allergens, some molds, and animal dander. However, because these particles settle rather quickly, air filters are not very good at removing them completely from indoor areas. Although human activities such as walking and vacuuming can stir up particles, most of the larger particles will resettle before an air filter can remove them. Consumers can select a particle removal air filter by looking at its efficiency in removing airborne particles from the air stream that passes through it. This efficiency is measured by the minimum efficiency reporting value (MERV) for air filters installed in the ductwork of HVAC systems. The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) developed this measurement method. MERV ratings (ranging from a low of 1 to a high of 20) also allow comparison of air filters made by different companies. X Flat or panel air filters with a MERV of 1 to 4 are commonly used in residential furnaces and air conditioners. For the most part, such filters are used to protect the HVAC equipment from the buildup of unwanted materials on the surfaces such as fan motors and heating or cooling coils, and not for direct indoor air quality reasons. They have low efficiency on smaller airborne particles and medium efficiency on larger particles, as long as they remain airborne and pass through the filter. Some smaller particles found within a house include viruses, bacteria, some mold spores, a significant fraction of cat and dog allergens, and a small portion of dust mite allergens.

Higher efficiency filters with a MERV of 14 to 16, sometimes misidentified as HEPA filters, are similar in appearance to true HEPA filters, which have MERV values of 17 to 20. True HEPA filters are normally not installed in residential HVAC systems; installation of a HEPA filter in an existing HVAC system would probably require professional modification of the system. A typical residential air handling unit and the associated ductwork would not be able to accommodate such filters because of their physical dimensions and increase in airflow resistance. Some residential HVAC systems may not have enough fan or motor capacity to accommodate higher efficiency filters. Therefore, the HVAC manufacturer’s information should be checked prior to upgrading filters to determine whether it is feasible to use more efficient filters. Specially built high performance homes may occasionally be equipped with true HEPA filters installed in a properly designed HVAC system. There is no standard measurement for the effectiveness of electronic air cleaners. While they may remove small particles, they may be ineffective in removing large particles. Electronic air cleaners can produce ozone—a lung irritant. The amount of ozone produced varies among models. Electronic air cleaners may also produce ultrafine particles resulting from reaction of ozone with indoor chemicals such as those coming from household cleaning products, air fresheners, certain paints, wood flooring, or carpets. Ultrafine particles may be linked with adverse health effects in some sensitive populations

Conclusion Indoor air pollution is among the top five environmental health risks. The best way to address this risk is to control or eliminate the sources of pollutants, and to ventilate a home with clean outdoor air. The ventilation method may, however, be limited by weather conditions or undesirable levels of contaminants in outdoor air. If these measures are insufficient, an air cleaning device may be useful. While air cleaning devices may help to control the levels of airborne allergens, particles, or, in some cases, gaseous pollutants in a home, they may not decrease adverse health effects from indoor air pollutants
