Corsi Box

Frank Chambers

Kim Shanahan mentioned me in his real estate column in Sunday’s New Mexican and his writing gave me more credit than intended. I suggested the topic to him and supplied some references. Richard Corsi came up with the idea of using MERV 13 filters (5 of them to form a box for air being drawn into the fan) with a box fan as an alternative to expensive air purifiers. Another friend thought it was my idea, too, so I submitted a letter to the paper to clarify and add a couple qualifiers. Some references:
