Buying a MERV 13 filter is great, if your HVAC can handle that level of filter. The higher the MERV, the harder your HVAC has to work to push air through that filter. Do not just go buy one without knowing what your HVAC can handle. But yeah, if it can handle it then absolutely buy MERV 13.
Great video 🙏 please make more videos like this, also about radon and indoor air pollution please 🙏
Affordable air filtration tip: I started taking 20 by 20 Merv 13 air filters and duct taping them to a 20 inch box fans. Having several makes a lot of difference in my house.
Dear Peter,
your Work is really helping me understanding how our body is working.
I would Love to See some more educational Videos about the physiology of the liver or the kidney's and the function of it.
Your Hormon Videos are a Blessing for the Internet you explained it SO Well.
Love ya
I live in Tokyo. If I did not exercise outdoors in an AQI of more than 50, I would only be able to exercise outdoor maybe once a month, perhaps at midnight. No marathons, no cycling, no nuthin'. So it comes down to a choice, do I do what I love in this filthy air at risk to my health (A few days ago the AQI in Tokyo was 188), or do I give it up and run on a treadmill (would quit after a day from boredom) or just hang around in my room with a helmet on my head in case of a very likely to come soon earthquake.
Would a HEPA filter work for filtering the air in your home?
only if it's big enough power to cover the entire house and only for particles, not for VOCs... a whole house filter in your HVAC might work better
I live in a village full of oldies who love burning, it's frequently a pea souper outside. So I guess the health advice is find a million bucks and move.
Thank you Peter and Kari. What kind of mask is suitable for these particles.
N95. It does not eliminate the problem but helps
You need to have companies pay for extra tax on having employees drive to work.
This is a known fact we can work from home.
We tried the working from home option for all our Roofing company employees. Unfortunately that seem to pan out very well.

WIldfires are buring millions of undiscovered meth labs too.
"Results show that an estimated 253,623 people were cooking meth in the Los Angeles High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) between the years 1999 to 2001." - Los Angeles HIDTA
The worst cities for PM2.5 in UK:
1 Glasgow 8.6
2 Edinburgh 7.4
3 Manchester 7.2
4 Birmingham 7.1
5 Leeds 7.0
6 Sheffield 6.9
7 Liverpool 6.8
8 Nottingham 6.7
9 Newcastle upon Tyne 6.6
10 Bristol 6.5
The PM2.5 numbers next to cities represent the average concentration of fine particulate matter in the air in that city, measured in micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m³)
rainy places have better PM readings because the rain cleans out the particulates
Breathing off gassing chemicals is not healthy. When you buy a new vehicle leave it in the garage or outside with the windows open to let the chemicals can have time to disburse. That new car smell is the chemicals from the parts. It is the worst the first few weeks after the vehicle is made. It gets better over time but even a vehicle that is a few years old still off gasses chemicals. One of the worst is carpeting in your home. Get a new carpet and you will need to leave the windows open for weeks. I got new carpeting a few years ago and had to sleep with the window cracked in the bedroom for weeks.
Cooking creates a lot of PM2.5.... for instance boiling Chinoa, Broccoli, Brown rice , since I strted to meassure it I also sometimes use an N95 while cooking and air purifiers
cooking creates VOC and PM... the mask only filters PM, not the VOCs
Those masks are so polluted themselves.
ok Karen
Karen’s not exactly wrong. VOCs have been found in newly opened KF94 masks (the Korean equivalent to N95). There’s simply no perfect solution just measured risks
Thanks, Dr Attia, for making her admit that masks (0.3micron) do not block these 0.25 micron chemicals/particles.
THAT's WHY OSHA REQUIRES RESPIRATORS WHEN WORKING AROUND CHEMICALS.
