Breathe easier during wildfires with a DIY air purifier

A simple box fan can become an air purifier that can last you up to six months.

But regardless of how pretty highly contaminated sunsets are, wildfire smoke has serious consequences for your body. No matter where you live, it might be a good time to get an air purifier.Fires like the ones scorching California burn not only trees but also houses, cars, and anything inside them. This makes the resulting smoke particularly problematic.

Particles in the smoke can be 30 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair, which allows them to get deep into your lungs if inhaled. As they accumulate there, they can swell your respiratory tract and cause health issues that range from a cough and a runny nose, to headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath, or fatigue. If this particulate matter penetrates your lungs, it can travel through your bloodstream and into your heart, provoking even more serious complications.
