#airfiltration — Public Fediverse posts

Easter is unfortunately a mass pollution event in the Netherlands because of the tradition of Easter fires here, so it's especially important to have a decent air filter system on this weekend.

Therefore it's air filter day in our household.

For some time I've been filtering inbound air in our home through a Philips FY0194 HEPA filter. This is the same type as used in our portable AC819 air cleaners. The filter worked very well for this use, but over a year it has become full of dust and the air flow was obviously a bit restricted.

Today I've replaced the Philips filter with an Ikea Starkvind filter, with a new construction using a box instead of the filter being attached as it was previously. The same fan is drawing air through the system as before.

The Starkvind filter costs €12 and offers a 15% greater active filter area than the Philips filter which now costs a slightly absurd €30. So this will reduce the annual cost quite a lot for the price of a bit of DIY.

I also cleaned the filters in our Philips AC0819 air filters. They don't dirty as quickly as the one which all the air comes through, but they do collect a fair bit of dust and fluff which I swept and blew off in the garden.

Has anyone tried making a PAPR or HEPA stroller? A few people have mentioned the concept but the only source I've found is this one paper: https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-2430680/v1

I'd love practical tips. Right now I can't go into stores with my baby because she can't mask, having the ability to wheel her inside would greatly expand what I can do while caring for my child. Also useful during wildfire smoke.

Komm ich mit einem Togofilter durch einen Security Check?

Ich hab mir einen #Togofilter zugelegt. Das sind diese tragbaren #Luftfilter, die ein bisschen wie Getränkeflaschen ausschauen.

Gedacht war er für die nächste Reise in den Osterferien. Im Sommer konnte ich ja darauf bestehen, nur draußen zu essen, aber Ende März geht das vielleicht nicht immer.

Wir wollen auch viel besichtigen. Jetzt ist mir eingefallen, dass ja jede Sehenswürdigkeit, die etwas auf sich hält, einen Security Check macht. Insbesondere sicher auch in Paris. Darf ich da so ein kleines elektronisches Gerät mitnehmen? Wie genau wird da geschaut? 🤷

Ich kann den Filter aber auch nicht im Hotel lassen, das läuft ja dem Zweck zuwider, ihn dann im Kaffeehaus dabeizuhaben. Und im Zweifelsfall an der Sperre wegwerfen geht auch nicht. Abgesehen von der Verschwendung wäre mir das viel zu teuer.

So ein 🤬

@Lorrrraaaaine @biomimic okay I absolutely love that this was invented. Seems like the ultimate protection. Only thing I would suggest you do is swap the cloth mask for an #N95 or possibly even a #P100 but other than that, smart thinking. And I think it looks great on you too! #mask #airfiltration #WearAMask #bringbackmasks #faceshield #helmet #fullfacemask #covidisntover #COVIDisAirborne #covidmask #ppe

Thoughts on Dyson's air purifying headphones? I think the lack of a tight seal around the face is a huge miss for this product. Would have been great if it had it as it wold make for a great mask, being able to easily flip it down when you didn't need it on and the fact it's air purifying. Great concept, poor execution. https://youtube.com/shorts/Zy5Rrv9NN2A #mask #masks #WearAMask #weather #dyson #headphones #bringbackmasks #airfiltration #airpurification #cleanair #covid #covidisairborne #bettermasks
