What to do to keep wildfire smoke out of your house - SFGATE

Backup power sources and a solid air filter are just a few ways to prepare your home for wildfire smoke. Hearst Newspapers While optimists hoped 2021 might see a break from the heat waves, wildfires and pandemic that riddled the Bay Area in 2021, there appears to be little relief. COVID-19 continues to spread in the form of the Delta variant, and wildfires have come back to the Bay Area. That combination makes breathing more of a task than it would otherwise seem. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District and San Francisco Department of Public Health have previously said it's best to seek out places with fresh air and filtered air systems, such as indoor malls, libraries, community centers, civic centers and local government buildings. Of course, that's more complicated during the COVID-19 pandemic, when legal restrictions bind how businesses operate and people gather and mask mandates are returning in parts of the country. It's also worth considering how a power outage ...

Could a Cheap, DIY Air Filter Help Rid Your Home of Viruses? - MedicineNet

Image
Latest Prevention & Wellness News By Dennis Thompson HealthDay Reporter TUESDAY, Oct. 31, 2023 A cheap, do-it-yourself air purifier is powerful enough to effectively protect a home from free-floating flu and COVID-19 viruses, according to test results from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The filter, crafted with common hardware store supplies costing $60, outperformed pricey off-the-shelf air filters in tests performed at an advanced EPA chamber that simulates real-world conditions, scientists said. It's also simple to put together. In fact, a group of Connecticut fifth-graders built one of the filter cubes used by the EPA in its testing. The schoolkids' DIY air purifier -- decorated as their school's owl mascot and named "Owl Force One" -- performed just as well as similar boxes built by EPA scientists. EPA tests showed that these h...

Lenovo ThinkPad L15 Gen 4 - Review 2023 - PCMag Middle East

Image
Lenovo sells half an alphabet's worth of different ThinkPad business laptops. Some of the designations—like ThinkPad X1 for premium ultralights, ThinkPad T for mainstream corporate models, and ThinkPad P for mobile workstations—are clear enough. Others like the ThinkPad L series are fuzzier—Lenovo calls them "value-priced devices with productivity-rich features." That puts the ThinkPad L15 Gen 4 (starts at $663.30; $1,588.33 as tested) somewhere between entry-level and enterprise. It's a capable workhorse, but a rather dated design that's not really value-priced as tested. We suggest you check out its competitors, including Lenovo's own budget ThinkPad E and small-office ThinkBook series, instead. Configurations and Design: Choose Your CPU  The ThinkPad L15 is a 15.6-inch general-purpose notebook available in both Intel and AMD flavors, the latter starting at $822.90 with a Ryzen 3 Pro processor while the cheapest Intel config is a $633.30 Core i3.

Image
Photo: depositphotos.com Highlights A whole-house air purifier typically costs between $456 and $4,557, with a national average cost of $2,448. The exact cost of whole-house air purifier installation will depend on the size of the home, the type of filter used, the brand of the air purifier, the location and accessibility of the HVAC system, and the cost of labor.
