Iorio’s improvised purifier reduced the particle concentration inside the house by about 70 per cent, she said after measuring it with her particle monitor.

For context, much of the air pollution produced by the forest fires are 2.5 microns or smaller. First, build the four vertical walls of the DIY purifier using the four air filters, connecting them together using duct tape. Ensure the seals between the filters are air tight, as you want all the air flowing into the fan to pass through the filters.
