How To Improve Indoor Air Quality

Why do we pay attention to the quality of our drinking water, but not to our indoor air? Scientific American's Senior Health Editor, Tanya Lewis, explains how and why this matters.

Moving into an apartment after three decades in houses, I'm learning how bad CO2 build-up can be, esp. since it pools from the floor up, and my futon bed is low. A C-R filter works great, but I'm considering a soda lime filter for the CO2. This might be particularly helpful around babies and day care, if there are no side-effects.

As an ex HVAC tech A simple box fan motor will burn up due to restriction of the said filters. I recommend getting one from a store with a good warranty, because it will get hot and fail. Have you ever seen a box fan sold with a filter? Or seen filters made for box fans?

It would be also interesting to understand which role do sensors (CO2, PM2.5 etc..) play in this, especially if energy efficiency of the whole system is also a factor which need to be watched. What do you guys think?

Or we could stop listening to the advice given by people who are freaked out by life in general (like video above) for a virus that is mild in nature who do not kow what they are talking about Seriously you work for a "science and your duct tape filter box in a dorm room is not comparable to a hospital.

She’s scared of Covid and did many things to prevent it and still got it, but she wants you to know how wonderful and better than us she is. How does she work at a science magazine? Incredible.

I was with you until you brought race into it.

Last 2 and half years I have spent mostly indoors due to the situation. I never fell sick, I never contracted COVID. Indoor air quality is anyway good considering you stay in a less polluted environment. So these videos are just money making schemes to make Dyson or other companies rich!
