\n The city is going to extremes to make sure this school year doesn\u2019t get flushed.<\/p>\n

Department of Education workers have been spotted using pieces of toilet paper stuck to the ends of sticks to gauge the airflow inside classrooms as kids return in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

One stunned city councilman exposed the bizarre testing method in all its low-tech glory by posting a tweet Wednesday showing a worker poking at a ceiling vent with bathroom tissue affixed to a flimsy piece of wood using a binder clip.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe official and comprehensive NYC inter-agency classroom ventilation inspection process,\u201d Mark Treyger zinged in the post.<\/p>\n

When quizzed about the tissue rig, Mayor Bill de Blasio conceded that he wasn\u2019t qualified to issue a \u201ca great technical answer\u201d \u2014 but insisted that folks shouldn\u2019t not to diss the Charmin.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s actually the way the CDC recommends you test these things,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

De Blasio and Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza announced this week that the DOE would vet all city school buildings for adequate ventilation to guard against coronavirus transmission.<\/p>\n

The pair said that DOE engineers would spearhead the sweep and that the vast majority of schools would be cleared for operation by September 1.<\/p>\n

Carranza also commented on the tissue method at a Wednesday press conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all part of determining and making sure that we\u2019re able to have air flow in a building,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s a CDC recommended method for testing flow.\u201d<\/p>\n

He stressed that air quality was also being tested throughout city schools.<\/p>\n

A City Hall spokesperson later pointed to a CDC document that confirmed its endorsement of the TP test.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeveral methods that provide a visual, qualitative measure of pressure differentials (i.e., airflow direction) include smoke-tube tests or placing flutter strip<\/a>s, ping-pong balls, or tissue in the air stream,\u201d the language reads.<\/p>\n

De Blasio grew annoyed when reporters pressed him on the primitive optics of the app<\/a>roach.<\/p>\n

\u201cGuys, I understand why it captures your imagination,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I don\u2019t want to take one school, one person and treat that as the entire school system.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hizzoner said he would present a DOE engineer to better explain the overall process Thursday.<\/p>\n

The city teachers and principals unions have expressed concern about the lack of proper ventilation in aged school buildings and the risks for heightened risk of coronavirus transmission.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
