Need some wisdom from western USers who deal with wildfire smoke and high temps simultaneously.

Wildfire smoke from Canada is pouring into Michigan today with potential AQIs into the 300+ range. Temps should be falling after today (relatively speaking), but heat indices are still in the high 90s.

I know the best thing for it is seal things up and stay inside as much as possible. Thing is, we only have a portable A/C unit -- no central air.

Will taping up the A/C's window vent and running an air purifier be enough?

Given the lack of central air, should I spring for an air purifier? Or can I get away with the box fan filter contraption whose name escapes me?

I know posts that answer these questions go around every year, but can I find them now that I need them? [blows raspberry] Thanks, y'all. Appreciate you.

Thailand installs innovative 'Fahsai' air purifying tower

A new air purifying tower designed to mitigate the impact of PM2.5 pollution at the city level has been developed by the Research & Innovation for Sustainability Centre (RISC) under Thai property developer Magnolia Quality Development Corporation (MQDC).

Named “Fahsai”, the tower features high-speed blades to draw air into the system, separating dust and water droplets with jet venturi scrubber technology that can reduce dust up to 120,000 cubic metres per hour, Singh Intrachooto, chief adviser to RISC, said.

Fahsai has been installed in many areas, such as True Digital Park in Bangkok’s Phra Khanong district and at the University of Phayao, where it has mitigated air pollution by 50% and 40% respectively, he explained.

Singh further explained that the smaller “Fahsai Mini” has been installed at MQDC headquarters at the DTGO Campus in Samut Prakan’s Bang Phli district.

The smaller version is easier to move and install, but is still able to reduce dust up to 60,000 cubic metres per hour, covering around 12,000 square metres or a big football pitch, he said.

I have made my own air filter box! With macaroni duct tape and then I ran out of that and had to use blue. But it was in total about $85 for the materials (filters and box fan) so that's nice.

California smoke is bad and I have no AC, so I need my doors and windows open unless I'd like to bake. Which I don't. And since I caught COVID my lungs are rather more sensitive to the smoke then they have been in the past. This should help. Not as pretty as a store bought $200+ one but seems to be just as effective.

Check out edgecollective.io/airbox for more information, which I found from some other Tumblr post I can't find anymore.
