Students from the School of Nursing and Medicine assembled 100 CRBoxes
Made from everyday items found in hardware stores, the Corsi-Rosenthal box is a testament to the power of grassroots innovation.
Covid is not going away for the foreseeable future. Vaccination, rapid tests and appropriate masking are important ways to protect against getting sick and spreading the virus. So is better indoor air quality.
"It parallels clean water and outdoor air quality. We expect clean water, and we demand pollution be eliminated to make outdoor air clean. Now people will demand clean indoor air quality."
What can you build with duct tape, air filters, and a box fan?
This might sound like the set up for a dad joke, but according to new insights from 3M, the answer is less of a punchline and more a breath of fresh air.
Brown University School of Public Health has launched a new health project designed to help combat and mitigate COVID-19: Corsi-Rosenthal Cubes.
Having good ventilation and air filtration in schools is very important to reduce COVID-19 and other diseases that spread through the air. Improving indoor air quality also creates a healthier school environment by limiting exposure to harmful chemicals and wildfire smoke. In addition, better air quality increases student performance and attendance.
“DIY air cleaners appear to be a valuable, low-cost tool to reduce hazardous PM exposures.”
