Brainstorming session 1.) Breathing cleaner air is possible. We need to share this information to everyone in UB.
2.) Anyone can build an air filter. We just need a HEPA filter and flat surfaced fan.
• What are the best ways to reach the UB public? What topics regarding indoor air quality is the most crucial?
• What are the most effective ways to communicate this information to the public?
• How can get HEPA filters and fans locally available at an affordable price?
