Wanna share my experience today.

I am back in NYC and the air is, as you know, hazardous ⚠️.

Never experienced anything like it.

Much of my stuff (incl fave air purifiers) is still in storage, but I have 2 SHARK hepa air purifiers here….

They have air quality meters on them that generally read between 95-100 (100 being best).

Today, w windows closed, HVAC on, the readings were around 53. 😱 Never saw them so low. Apt smelled like 💨.

NO air purifiers left in my neighborhood stores.

So….

I called my friend/ IAQ expert @sri_srikrishna 🙏. I knew he’d help me craft the best plan.

He advised me to go to the hardware store (who still had box fans & filters!) and “DIY” a few extra air purifiers.

We FaceTimed in the store so he could help me choose the right parts.

For $80 apiece, I was able to make two DIY purifiers comparable to a $300 one.

A box fan, a MERV 13 filter, & some duct tape was all it took.

My 53 readings on my SHARKS turned into 80+ (up to 93!) within 90 minutes. The smell of smoke gone.

Here’s my gorgeous DIY 😆

We are living in a new 🌎 where clean air is more crucial than ever. I took it for granted (or, rather, didn’t think much abt it) before March 2020.

Now, I’ll never be able to UNKNOW all I’ve learned over the last 3+ years.
