[Resource] The BREATHE Project: DIY Air Cleaners
The BREATHE Project is a community-based research initiative that teaches community members how to build DIY air cleaners to improve their indoor air quality. Led by Dr. Anne-Marie Nicol, Associate Professor in the Faculty of Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University and in partnership with many organizations, municipalities, and health authorities across British Columbia, the BREATHE Project helps at-risk populations mitigate the urgent impacts of climate change and increases public knowledge on the health risks of wildfire smoke exposure and extreme heat events.
Visit THE BREATHE PROJECT website to access training material, resources, workshops, and more.
Sign up here if you would like to host a DIY Air Cleaner Workshop.
