Glad to share our recently published study in ES&T Air evaluating 13 different air cleaners for PM and VOC removal under wildfire smoke conditions. We evaluated 13 different commercial and DIY air cleaners in a test chamber w/ pine needle wildfire smoke challenge

Apply for a FUNDED PhD with our collaborative NASA project on the Salton Sea and EJ! This is a great deal with a 43k stipend AND tuition covered. Study the links between air and water quality. @alianzacv @sKaiHeitz @LCJandA @willporter
Just finished a busy month of indoor air filtration workshops around the dusty Salton Sea, helping participants build their own #CorsiRosenthalBox. The workshops themselves gave us a good opportunity to evaluate the filters, and the data are pretty clear: these things work!
Note particulate concentrations rising in the workshop room as participants get to work cutting and assembling cardboard, then quickly dropping below their original background levels just minutes after two finished boxes are turned on. (Data from a @quant_aq MODULAIR-PM unit.)

#atmchemaerojobs
Getting ready to build hundreds of DIY air filters this summer to help Salton Sea communities keep their indoor air clean and reduce the spread of airborne disease. Many thanks to @VitalikButerin and #Balvi for supporting our work!
Cleaner indoor air is affordable, accessible, and impactful. #CorsiRosenthalBoxes @quant_aq @CorsIAQ @JimRosenthal4 @UCRSoM @AnnMCheney7

As #drought dries up the #SaltonSea, #farmworkers living nearby are exposed to toxic #dust and airborne #pollution from #algae blooms. #Asthma, #allergies, and other #health impacts are rising at alarming rates.

I have created a step-by-step guide to building a #CorsiRosenthalBox. Thank you @JimRosenthal4 & @CorsIAQ for approving it. Displaying it in waiting rooms, offices, schools, and libraries will help more people stay safe this season. Please DM me if you need a PDF or another size.

1/ Reducing respiratory aerosol particle concentrations in dorm rooms.
I have heard from parents who have children returning to dorms at universities across North America. The #corsirosenthalbox can help with these situations a lot! Really a lot, folks. read on.
