If CDC says we parents and teachers are on our own for schools, then we need to start getting creative with our own air disinfection devices… the Jerry-rigged air cleaning device below tapes together several MERV13 filters into a cube called a “Corsi Box” (named after @CorsIAQ).

2) Here is more details on how to assemble a Corsi box for air cleaning classrooms. See thread 🧵

4) I’ve been venting about school ventilation and air quality for quite a while, as some of you know. The key is the concept of enough air exchanges per classroom - either via ventilation of fresh air (preferred), or via disinfection via HEPA or UV. But beware of bad ionizers.

5) The DIY Corsi Box (also called by some as the Comparetto Cube) as a low cost way to filter the air, is also a good kids learning activity.
Though nota bene—don’t touch the sides of the filter after it starts running. Virus particles can stick to it.

6) Air disinfection for classrooms with portable HEPA is also very affordable— cost is just <$10 per student to start and only $11/student for 3 years, according to
@CorsIAQ
. Much less than cost of most school books.
