Climate Week NYC: Build Your Own Air Purifier

Discover how clean air technology works by building a simple, effective DIY air purifier. In this hands-on demonstration, participants will learn about common indoor air pollutants, how air filtration improves air quality, and the science behind low-cost purifier designs. We'll demonstrate and assemble a working air purifier using accessible materials, discuss when and where these devices are most useful—such as during wildfire smoke events or periods of poor air quality—and share practical tips for improving indoor air at home, school, or work. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of air quality, filtration, and affordable solutions that can help protect community health.
