Before reading any farther, even with 2 or 3 portable air cleaners in your space, everyone must wear a mask (more on masks, kids’ masks and reusable elastomeric respirators).

Introduction
You are probably interested in the DIY Air Cleaner known as the Corsi/Rosenthal Box. Conceived by Dr. Corsi, then built by Jim Rosenthal, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Air Relief Technologies, Inc. and past president of the National Air Filtration Association (NAFA).
To be crystal clear about appearances of Conflict of Interest, this website is put together by Citizen Scientists who have been learning about Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) from the multitude of IAQ experts, engineers, and scientists on Twitter, amongst other places.
While Dr. Corsi and Jim Rosenthal are referred to, and cited frequently, that same information has been either vetted by other IAQ experts or obtained from them separately.
