"Are your nostrils photodisinfected? Is your workplace outfitted with the best air purifiers and Far UV lights on the market? Have your friends and coworkers been PCR tested today? Do you have a driver who wears a mask around you, a watch on your wrist that knows you’re sick before you feel anything, a trained dog to sniff the crowd of people you’re about to join? Are your kids in private schools with upgraded ventilation systems? Do you have access to the best doctors and plenty of paid sick leave? No, of course not. So I have to ask: why have you ditched your mask?"

What It's Like Being COVID-Conscious in 2024 - Published Aug 26, 2024
Aug. 26, 2024 – On a warm July evening, Raleigh Rivera, 29, went to see a band play a backyard show in East Los Angeles. The audience – around 40 people – wore KN95 or N95 masks, tested for COVID beforehand, and agreed that they would excuse themselves from the rest of the crowd if they needed to take off their masks for any reason. Before they played, the band showed their negative test results to the attendees and asked their permission to perform without masks. They were lit with far-UV lighting, which has been shown to safely kill airborne viruses.
This might sound like a scene from three or four summers ago, when taking COVID precautions was encouraged by most health officials, policymakers, and community members – but it happened this summer. For Rivera and the rest of the crowd – who identify as COVID-conscious – life hasn’t gone “back to normal,” as it has for so many others.
Rivera and other COVID-vigilant people have cause for alarm: At the beginning of August, the percentage of people testing positive for COVID reached its highest level since January 2022, according to CDC data. The public health agency’s wastewater testing tracker shows “high” or “very high” virus levels in most U.S. states.
Many studies have shown that properly masking gives you an extra layer of protection against COVID. But Rivera, like others in the COVID-conscious community, is usually the only person wearing a mask in any given setting.
“Continuing to think and live this way kind of feels like you’re living in an alternate reality all the time,” she said. She has POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), a chronic blood disorder that can cause your heart rate to jump if you stand up. Along with masking wherever she goes, Rivera and her husband have air purifiers throughout their home and use a saline nasal rinse and an antimicrobial mouthwash before heading outside.
Despite her vigilance, Rivera caught COVID in the fall of 2023. She got on Paxlovid right away, yet she was hit with crushing fatigue that incapacitated her for a few weeks, she said. After she recovered, her POTS symptoms – which can include fatigue, lightheadedness, and nausea – worsened. She is just starting to get her appetite back, almost a year later.
“Everything is still a risk calculation, wherever I go. But at this show, I felt like my body could finally relax,” she said. “I felt very present and a part of something in a way that I haven’t been able to experience in a long time.”
Local governments in places like New York City and Los Angeles have considered imposing mask bans – mostly in response to protesters wearing masks at rallies to conceal their identities – regardless of the summer increase in COVID case numbers.
“It takes a lot of confidence,” said Rivera. “It gives up a piece of my social currency. I know there are places I’m no longer invited to because [wearing a mask] either weirds people out or bums them out that I’m going to keep this reminder of the pandemic on my face.”
For Rivera and others, much of the onus of community protection seems to fall on those with weakened immune systems. One of their biggest concerns is the lack of masking in medical settings. While some health systems have brought back masking policies since numbers have started to climb again, many have not done the same.
Aaron Friedberg, MD, a professor and internal medicine doctor with a specialty in long COVID at Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, wears a mask in every clinical setting, even though the hospital no longer requires it.
“There are still some people who get very sick from COVID, even though it’s much less common now,” he said. “To me, wearing a mask is a relatively easy thing I can do to improve their health. It’s an important way of showing respect for your patients, to protect them.”
Bernard Camins, MD, an infectious disease specialist at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, also understands this worry. The hospital still sees plenty of patients with COVID, he said, but the vaccinated and boosted hospital staff does not tend to see transmission of the virus because they continue to wear the right personal protective equipment.
Olivia Belknap, an associate marriage and family therapist in the Los Angeles area, is COVID-conscious and sees many clients with similar concerns. She said there is a lot to what it means to be COVID-conscious.
Nowadays, many might consider taking COVID precautions to be extreme, but Belknap herself (who was also diagnosed with POTS after a COVID infection) and some of her clients are not yet comfortable getting on an airplane or eating outside on a restaurant patio. She sees clients who aren’t willing to step indoors almost anywhere that isn’t their own home.
“A majority of [my clients] have sought me out because they know that regardless of what levels of precautions they’re taking, I’m not going to pathologize them for it or discourage them from doing those things,” said Belknap. “It’s more about finding meaning and connection in your life while still doing things in a way that is safe for you and makes you feel comfortable.”
Belknap said it’s not her place to tell people they’re being too prudent or too lax in their precautions. Sometimes, she works with clients who are anxious about taking the first steps in loosening their own restrictions; other times, she’s talking to people struggling to come to terms with what it means to have a substantially smaller social circle for what could be the rest of their lives.
Although it seems like the rest of the world has moved on, the worry is valid for those whose lives may be upended by a post-viral reaction from a COVID infection, Camins said.
“It may not be death, but it’s still debilitating. You’re alive, but it’s not a fun way to live life,”
While protecting yourself against what could be life-altering long COVID symptoms is more than justified, Camins said there is a potential downside for those with weakened immune systems: They might get sicker from other viruses than they would have before.
“The only thing I worry about for this community is that, since they’re very careful about COVID, they’re probably not getting exposed to other viruses that their bodies can build immunity against,” he said. “At some point, if you let down your guard, you’re going to get sick a lot.”
There are times when Rivera wants to give up on masking altogether, like when she attends a wedding. She still goes to many of them, and she puts in the time to do her makeup, despite knowing most people won’t see her face for most the night. She’d like to be able to take her mask off indoors, eat inside without worrying, or have a drink with friends.
There could be a future for Rivera that doesn’t include the same level of precautions she’s currently taking – but that comes with conditions.
“There are some places that I know I will continue to wear a mask forever, like in medical settings or traveling,” she said. ��But I also know that there will be no more weddings for me if I am permanently and significantly more disabled than I already am, and that’s very possible with another infection.”

Donnie and Mikey are streaming together today. Their models are wearing shirts reading 'Smarts and Crafts Team', blue jeans, lab coats, safety glasses, gloves, and boots. They're messing with some science based crafts on the AR set. Shelldon and River sitting on the a box that has the chat box overplayed on it.
"So we got some resin to try out some crafts we found online." Mikey announced while they put some drop cloths on the floor around the table. "But we don't trust something not spilling, and this stuff can get tricky to clean if things go wrong."
"Which is part of why we're using UV resin, that we can just pop in the basking room for a bit to let set." Donnie says, in flat tone that sounds a bit sarcastic, "We're going to start simple, then work up to complicated, though that may go in reverse with us."
Mikey goes off screen to grab some supplies. While Donnie puts the big bottles of resin on the counter.
A cartoony turtle shell slides across the screen to have cartoon Mikey pop out with fan fare, coins tossed around, and Miss. PaintSlatter Donated $30!
Mikey jogs back in to check the notification. "Thank You, Miss. PaintSplatter for the $30. Oh 'Do Shelldon and River have access to mobile games? Hey Dee?"
"Shelldon doesn't play mobile games, but River plays Animal Crossing Pocket Camp. Partially for the app exclusive items you send to New Horizons, partially to befriend Villagers she wants, but can't find in NH." Donnie answers while he sets up some small molds. Then picks up and tests a heat gun.
"Well, we got the resin, pigments, molds, mold release, heat gun, little charms we plan to put into the resin. Are we missing anything?" Mikey askes.
"Spare gloves, paper towels, and the tall trashcan!" River answers back, then smacks the chatbots out of the chat box!
"And proper ventilation, or maskes." Shelldon says with a bit of snark.
"Right, I'll go get the portable ventilation, and trashcan and Mikey, please grab our ventilator masks from the art closet, a box of gloves, and the paper towels." Donnie instructs while they go grab said items.
Shelldon and River are left to entertain chat.
"What did I find that scared Dee? Sorry, we have been sworn to secrecy under threat of having our game libraries memory reset to no save files." River says.
Shelldon nods with his eyes closed. "And I don't have access to the file that was sent because Dee blocked me from getting it."
"FOR GOOD REASON!" Donnie tells from across the room, as he brings in what looked like an air purifier with a long tube sticking out of the back. "And for those who are confused, yes this is the portable ventilation system. Yes, it's a air purifier that I found in the dump, and heavily modified it." He announces with a bit of pride, "While I'm sure I could find something like this on the market, I wanted to build one myself."
Mikey also returns with his stuff, and organized the counter a bit so there's less of a chance of something getting knocked over.
They proceeded to finish set up, and get started on some simple resin experiments. And at least one small spillover and frantic clean up, before shouting 'You saw nothing!' And a 'Clip Recorded and Saved' from both Shelldon and River, who don't mention it right away.
Chat was still begging for the info of what Scared Dee, but after some were knocked out it calmed down, people started giving suggestions on what the guys could do with the resin.
----------------------
Masterpost
My actual favorite nickname for Donnie is Tello, and I want to have River call him 'Tello Tello', but that can't really happen with most of my story. Unless I can think of another behind the scenes post.

Is your Air Purifier effectively purifying the air?
Microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, molds, fungi, and volatile chemical compounds are all present in the air we breathe. 
Airborne microorganisms have the power to spread diseases, produce unpleasant scents, and continue the formation of mold. 
As a result, air pollution has gotten much worse. Our ability to breathe clean air is deteriorating. It i s now more severe than ever. 
Even though your house is meant to be a shelter, it is still exposed to several harmful microorganisms in the air, going inside our bodies through the air we breathe. 
In addition to these, the outbreak of COVID also flooded the market with some of the best Air Purifiers for COVID, as people became aware of keeping themselves and their surroundings clean. 
Tumblr media
More people than ever before spend most of their time indoors. As a result, you can be exposed to more indoor toxins and particles that cause or worsen respiratory ailments. 
According to the 2022 report of WHO,,“exposure to household air pollution almost doubles the risk for childhood LRI and is responsible for 44% of all pneumonia deaths in children less than 5 years old”. 
Are Air Purifier with UV light or Bacteria Air Purifier reliable for eliminating indoor contaminants, despite what they claim to do? Yes, to some extent. 
Let’s explore how and what is the better alternative to it. 
How does a standard air purifier function? 
Air purifiers generally clean the air, which may contain toxins, allergies, and pollutants. 
While some versions may eliminate other airborne particles without screening them first, others may be designed with filters to catch particles as air passes through them. 
On soft surfaces like your walls, carpeting, and bedding, and hard surfaces like furniture and walls, microorganisms are left behind where they continue to proliferate, causing odor problems and increasing the risk of diseases. 
Standard air cleaners and room cleaning can only provide a short-term fix to the issue of clinging microorganisms. 
How do Air Purifiers with UV Light function? 
Air Purifiers with UV Light are intended to use short-wave ultraviolet light (UV-C light) to inactivate airborne pathogens and microorganisms like mold, bacteria, and viruses by destroying their nucleic acids so that UV radiation disrupts their DNA, rendering them incapable of carrying out essential cellular functions. 
The primary disinfecting function of UV-C air purification systems is performed by UV-C light. 
An efficient Air purifier with UV Light eliminates bacteria, contaminants, and dust from soft and hard surfaces and the air. 
Tumblr media
To achieve the most outstanding results, AIRsteril offers a variety of cutting-edge air purifiers with UV light that combine the most advanced and potent air and surface cleansing technologies. 
It is the best air purifier for COVID-like situations, as it sanitizes and cleans the air.  We should focus on investing in complete solutions for air purification. Choose effective and efficient air purifiers with UV light or Bacteria Air Purifiers, that ensure safety with cleanliness. 
Our final words 
Air purifiers are a good use of money, despite what you might think. Air pollution has long been associated with respiratory illnesses and even cancer. 
When the air quality declines, there are other awful effects, such as depression, anxiety, suicide rates, and overall higher risk of mental problems, particularly in youngsters.

Air Purifiers and Allergies: How to Keep Fall Allergens at Bay
As the leaves start to change and the crisp air settles in, fall brings more than just scenic beauty. For many, it also brings a surge in allergies, with triggers like dust, pet dander, and mold spores accumulating indoors as we keep windows closed against the cold. If you’re searching for a solution to tackle these pesky allergens, an air purifier can be a game-changer. In this article, we’ll explore how air purifiers help reduce indoor allergens during the fall, offering allergy sufferers a breath of fresh air all season long.
Understanding Fall Allergens
Before diving into the ways air purifiers combat allergens, let’s look at what makes fall a challenging season for allergy sufferers.
Dust: When we turn on heating systems for the first time after months, accumulated dust and debris are often stirred up, leading to an increase in airborne dust particles.
Pet Dander: As pets spend more time indoors, their dander becomes more prevalent in the home, triggering allergies.
Mold Spores: With increased moisture from fallen leaves and rain, mold thrives in damp corners and crevices, which can enter homes through ventilation systems.
Pollen: Even though pollen levels drop in fall, certain plants like ragweed continue to release pollen until the first frost.
Given these allergens, it’s essential to take proactive steps to maintain air quality. Air purifiers, when used correctly, can greatly reduce these airborne irritants, improving indoor air quality and alleviating allergy symptoms.
How Air Purifiers Help Combat Allergens
Air purifiers are designed to capture and eliminate particles from the air, reducing allergen concentrations. Here’s how they work:
1. HEPA Filtration for Dust and Dander
HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are a crucial component in high-quality air purifiers. These filters capture particles as small as 0.3 microns, which includes many common allergens such as dust, pet dander, and mold spores. When placed in rooms where you spend the most time, a HEPA filter-equipped air purifier will continuously filter out these particles, helping reduce allergy flare-ups.
2. Activated Carbon Filters for Odors and VOCs
In addition to capturing dust and dander, many air purifiers also use activated carbon filters. These filters absorb volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odors that may aggravate respiratory symptoms. If you have pets or a wood-burning fireplace, an air purifier with an activated carbon filter can help keep your indoor air fresh.
3. UV-C Light for Extra Protection Against Mold and Bacteria
Some air purifiers are equipped with UV-C light, which helps kill bacteria, mold spores, and viruses. UV-C light technology is especially beneficial during the fall, when damp conditions can encourage mold growth indoors. Although UV-C isn’t essential for everyone, it adds an extra layer of protection, especially for those with severe mold sensitivities.
4. Ionizers for Extra Particle Removal
Ionizers are another feature available in some air purifiers. They release negative ions into the air, which bond with airborne particles and weigh them down, causing them to fall out of circulation. While ionizers can be effective, be cautious as they can sometimes create ozone, which can be irritating to the lungs. Choose an air purifier model that is certified as ozone-free if you’re sensitive to respiratory issues.
Choosing the Right Air Purifier for Allergy Relief
When selecting an air purifier, it’s important to consider factors that will maximize allergen reduction in your specific environment.
Room Size and Placement
Ensure your air purifier is suited to the size of the room you plan to use it in. Air purifiers are most effective when used in closed spaces, so place them in rooms where you spend the most time, such as the bedroom and living room.
Place the unit in a location where airflow isn’t obstructed, allowing it to filter as much air as possible.
Filter Quality and Replacement
Opt for an air purifier with a HEPA filter, as it’s the most effective for capturing allergens.
Regular maintenance, including filter replacement, is key to maintaining the purifier’s efficiency. Many HEPA filters last six to twelve months, but this varies by usage. Check your unit’s filter replacement guidelines to avoid reduced performance.
Energy Efficiency
Look for energy-efficient models that allow continuous operation without spiking your electricity bill. Air purifiers certified by the Energy Star program are a good choice for long-term use.
Additional Features
Consider models with timers or auto-sensing capabilities. Some air purifiers can detect pollutant levels and automatically adjust their fan speed, optimizing energy use and allergen reduction.
Tips for Using Your Air Purifier to Maximize Allergy Relief
Once you have chosen an air purifier, here are some best practices to get the most out of it:
Run It Continuously in High-Allergen Seasons
While it’s tempting to turn off appliances to save energy, running your air purifier continuously during peak allergy seasons like fall ensures that allergen levels are consistently reduced.
Vacuum and Dust Regularly
To complement your air purifier’s efforts, vacuum and dust your home frequently, especially if you have pets. This helps reduce the particles your air purifier has to filter, improving its efficiency.
Keep Windows Closed
As the temperature drops, it’s natural to want to air out rooms by opening windows, but this can let in more pollen and dust. Keep windows closed as much as possible to prevent outdoor allergens from entering your home.
Consider Multiple Units
If you have a multi-level home or large living spaces, consider using more than one air purifier to cover all areas where allergens tend to accumulate.
Frequently Asked Questions About Air Purifiers and Allergies
1. Can an air purifier completely eliminate allergens?
While an air purifier can significantly reduce airborne allergens, it can’t eliminate allergens completely. To minimize allergens, combine your air purifier with regular cleaning, washing bedding frequently, and keeping pets off furniture.
2. How long does it take for an air purifier to reduce allergens?
This varies based on room size and purifier efficiency. On average, you may notice reduced allergy symptoms after a few hours of running your air purifier in a closed room.
3. Are air purifiers safe to run overnight?
Yes, most air purifiers are designed for continuous use, including overnight. Running your air purifier while you sleep can actually help reduce nighttime allergy symptoms.

Sustainable Water Management In Hydroponic Farming: A Guide To Efficient Hydroponic Systems In The USA
Hydroponic farming, an advanced method of growing plants without soil, has gained popularity in the USA as a sustainable way to produce fresh produce. One of its key advantages is efficient water use, making it ideal for regions facing water scarcity. This post explores how hydroponics conserves water, the various systems available, and techniques for sustainable water management in hydroponic farms.
Understanding Hydroponic Farming and Its Sustainability
Hydroponics is a method of growing plants in nutrient-rich water solutions rather than soil. By controlling the environment, hydroponic systems support fast-growing, high-yield plants with significantly lower water use than traditional agriculture.
Benefits of Hydroponic Farming for Sustainability:
Water Efficiency: Hydroponic systems can use up to 90% less water than conventional farming.
Reduced Land Use: Hydroponics requires less space, making it ideal for urban and indoor farming.
Fewer Pesticides: With controlled environments, hydroponics reduces the need for chemical pesticides, making produce safer and more eco-friendly.
The Need for Sustainable Water Management in Hydroponics
Why Water Management is Crucial in Hydroponics: Water is a finite resource, and even in hydroponics, sustainable use is critical. Proper water management ensures plants receive the nutrients they need without waste. Sustainable practices also help hydroponic farms reduce their environmental footprint, making them a preferred option for green-minded consumers in the USA.
Challenges in Water Management:
Water Loss Through Evaporation: In open systems, water can evaporate, requiring regular top-ups.
Nutrient Build-Up: Over time, minerals can accumulate, impacting water quality.
Energy Consumption: Advanced filtration and recirculation systems often require energy, necessitating efficient practices to remain eco-friendly.
Types of Hydroponic Systems and Water Management
There are several types of hydroponic systems, each with unique water management needs. Here are some of the most common:
1. Nutrient Film Technique (NFT):
How it Works: NFT systems create a shallow stream of nutrient solution that continuously flows over the plant roots.
Water Management Tips: Monitor flow rates to avoid nutrient stagnation; implement a recirculation system to minimize water waste.
2. Deep Water Culture (DWC):
How it Works: In DWC, plant roots are suspended in nutrient-rich water.
Water Management Tips: Use air stones to oxygenate water; maintain ideal pH and nutrient balance to prevent nutrient lockout.
3. Drip Systems:
How it Works: Drip systems deliver water directly to each plant’s roots in small doses.
Water Management Tips: Adjust drip rates based on plant size and growth stage; collect and recirculate unused water to minimize waste.
4. Aeroponics:
How it Works: Plants are suspended in air, with roots misted with a nutrient solution.
Water Management Tips: Set misting intervals carefully to avoid drying out roots; use closed-loop systems to recycle unused water.
Water Management Techniques for Sustainable Hydroponics
Effective water management involves a combination of best practices and technology. Here are some tips for sustainable water management in hydroponics:
1. Closed-Loop Systems: A closed-loop hydroponic system recirculates water, reducing waste by reusing water as much as possible. These systems are particularly popular in the USA, where hydroponic farms face strict sustainability standards.
2. Filtration and Purification: Filtration systems remove impurities and ensure that plants receive clean, nutrient-rich water. Activated carbon filters, UV purifiers, and reverse osmosis systems are effective in maintaining high water quality.
3. pH and Nutrient Monitoring: Regularly monitor and adjust pH levels, as improper pH can disrupt nutrient uptake, leading to wasted water and nutrients. Automated pH and nutrient dosing systems can improve accuracy and reduce waste.
4. Water Reservoirs and Conservation: Use covered water reservoirs to reduce evaporation. Employ rainwater harvesting where possible, which reduces dependency on municipal water and cuts costs.
5. Evaporation Control Measures: Install shading and cooling solutions to reduce evaporation in open hydroponic systems. Shade cloths and temperature-controlled greenhouses can make a significant difference, especially in warm climates.
Examples of Sustainable Hydroponic Farms in the USA
Several hydroponic farms in the USA are setting benchmarks in sustainable water management.
1. AeroFarms (Newark, New Jersey): AeroFarms uses aeroponic techniques and a closed-loop water system that recirculates up to 95% of water, making it one of the most water-efficient hydroponic farms in the USA.
2. BrightFarms (Various Locations): Known for its local and sustainable approach, BrightFarms combines hydroponics with controlled-environment agriculture to reduce water use and bring fresh produce closer to consumers, minimizing transport emissions.
3. Plenty (South San Francisco, California): Using a highly automated vertical farming model, plenty optimizes water and nutrient delivery while reducing waste. Their water usage is reportedly 99% less than conventional farming, demonstrating a strong commitment to sustainable practices.
Future Trends in Hydroponic Water Management
With rising interest in sustainable agriculture, the future of hydroponics is promising. Innovations in water-saving technology, combined with stricter environmental regulations, are expected to make hydroponic farming even more efficient.
1. AI and IoT for Precision Water Management: Advanced sensors and AI algorithms allow real-time monitoring of water levels, pH, and nutrients, ensuring that plants get only what they need. IoT-connected systems also offer remote monitoring, enhancing efficiency.
2. Solar-Powered Hydroponics: Integrating solar power with hydroponic systems reduces reliance on non-renewable energy, making it a fully sustainable option. Solar-powered water pumps and filtration systems further enhance the environmental benefits of hydroponic farming.
3. Expansion of Hydroponics in Urban Areas: As cities strive for food security, urban hydroponic farms are set to increase. Rooftop farms and indoor vertical gardens provide fresh produce to densely populated areas while conserving water and land.

How to Choose the Right Air Purifier for Your Space: A Comprehensive Guide
In an era where air quality is a growing concern, investing in an air purifier can significantly improve your indoor environment. With various options available, selecting the right air purifier for your space can be daunting. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the essential factors to consider, ensuring you choose the best air purifier for your needs and effectively enhance your indoor air quality.
Tumblr media
 1. Identify Your Air Quality Needs
Before you start shopping for an air purifier, it’s crucial to identify your specific air quality needs. Different models target various pollutants, so understanding what you want to address in your indoor environment will help narrow your options:
- Allergies: If you or your family members suffer from allergies, look for a purifier with a true HEPA filter, which can capture 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, and pet dander.
- Odors and Gases: For homes with pets, cooking odors, or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from paints and cleaning supplies, an air purifier with an activated carbon filter can effectively neutralize smells and harmful gases.
- Mold and Bacteria: If you’re concerned about mold spores and bacteria, consider an air purifier that incorporates UV-C light technology, which can kill microorganisms in the air.
 2. Room Size Consideration
The size of the room where you intend to use the air purifier plays a crucial role in its effectiveness. Air purifiers are designed to work efficiently in specific room sizes, so it's essential to match the purifier to your space.
Check the product specifications for the recommended room size and ensure it is suitable for your area. If your room is larger than the purifier’s capacity, it may struggle to clean the air effectively, leading to subpar performance. For larger spaces, consider purchasing a unit with a higher Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) rating to ensure optimal air purification.
 3. Filtration System Types
Understanding the different types of filtration systems available is critical in selecting the right air purifier. Here are the main types to consider:
- HEPA Filters: As mentioned earlier, true HEPA filters are effective at trapping small particles and are ideal for allergy sufferers. Look for models that specify “true HEPA” to ensure the filter meets rigorous standards.
- Activated Carbon Filters: These filters are designed to absorb odors and VOCs. If you’re concerned about smells from cooking, pets, or smoke, choose a model that includes an activated carbon filter.
- Pre-Filters: Many air purifiers come with pre-filters that capture larger particles before they reach the HEPA filter. This feature can extend the life of the HEPA filter, making it a cost-effective choice.
- UV-C Light Technology: This feature uses ultraviolet light to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and mold spores. While it can enhance purification, it’s often used in conjunction with other filtration systems for optimal performance.
 4. Check the CADR Rating
The Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) measures how quickly an air purifier can filter out specific pollutants from the air, including smoke, dust, and pollen. A higher CADR rating indicates a more efficient air purifier.
When comparing models, look for the CADR ratings for each type of particle. For example, if you are primarily concerned about dust and pollen, ensure the purifier has a high CADR for those specific particles. This rating is especially important in determining how effectively the unit will purify your space.
 5. Noise Levels
Noise can be a significant factor, especially if you plan to use the air purifier in a bedroom or quiet workspace. Different models produce varying noise levels, typically measured in decibels (dB).
Look for air purifiers that provide a dB rating in their specifications. Models with a noise level below 30 dB are generally considered very quiet, while those above 50 dB can be disruptive in a peaceful setting. Many air purifiers offer multiple fan speeds, allowing you to adjust the noise level according to your preferences.
 6. Maintenance and Filter Replacement Costs
Regular maintenance is vital to keep your air purifier functioning efficiently. Before purchasing, check how often the filters need to be replaced and the associated costs.
Some air purifiers come with washable pre-filters, which can reduce long-term costs by extending the life of the main filters. Additionally, consider whether the purifier has a filter replacement indicator that alerts you when it’s time to change the filters, ensuring optimal performance.
 7. Energy Efficiency
Since air purifiers often run continuously, energy efficiency is an important consideration. Look for models that are Energy Star certified, as these products meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the EPA.
An energy-efficient air purifier can save you money on your utility bills while reducing your environmental impact. Additionally, many modern air purifiers have eco-friendly modes that automatically adjust settings to conserve energy.
 8. Smart Features and Technology
In the age of smart technology, many air purifiers come equipped with features that enhance usability. Consider the following options:
- Wi-Fi Connectivity: Some air purifiers can connect to your home Wi-Fi network, allowing you to control the unit via a smartphone app. This feature enables remote monitoring and adjustments, making it convenient to manage your air quality from anywhere.
- Air Quality Sensors: Many modern air purifiers include built-in air quality sensors that automatically adjust the fan speed based on the level of pollutants detected in the air. This ensures efficient operation while conserving energy.
- Integration with Smart Home Systems: Look for air purifiers that can integrate with smart home systems, allowing for voice control and seamless automation within your smart home ecosystem.
 9. Design and Aesthetics
Finally, consider the design and aesthetics of the air purifier. If you plan to place it in a visible area of your home, you’ll want a unit that complements your decor. Many air purifiers come in sleek, modern designs that can enhance your living space rather than detract from it.
Additionally, portability can be an essential factor if you intend to move the unit between rooms. Look for lightweight models with built-in handles for easy transport.
 Conclusion
Choosing the right air purifier for your space requires careful consideration of your specific needs and preferences. By understanding the factors that influence air quality, such as room size, filtration systems, CADR ratings, noise levels, and maintenance costs, you can make an informed decision that suits your lifestyle.

the lights everything it still there, it looks trendy, maybe you could crawl in there and the lights become useful
changing the hue to violet makes them UV tanks, for treating water that you are not necessarily going to get from the tap, especially in space, and rather than batteries on the sides we have filters
grow tilapia in there, there's a range of possibilities
if you want to go all in on space exploration you do want a loop where you can purify water and produce proteins, tilapia will absorb anything organic providing it's phosphates enriched
now those modules on the sides could do that, and it's going to allow for water to be treated, space exploration does not depend on one key phrase, "We are going to find", no there's great chances that you will not find anything, at all
or that what you will find will be dangerous even, as in untreatable water
the very reason why HEXIRON and its probes are important is not to be in a situation where you dispatch people to a distant exoplanet and finding out that its microbes eat plastics and anything polymers, in a big way
going back to untreatable water, look we found water, it's not just going to ruin your filters and you have spare ones because you're "prepared", your whole water system could be gone, for good
Don't touch nothing is the first rule of space exploration, eventually you will get to know what things are, that they don't want you to know and you're thinking you invented evolution
We brought in samples, the samples are happy that you brought them
This RV including with a decontamination platform would be for the safer stuff, if not its would have 3 ones in a row
So it's not all bleak either, there are those very dangerous planets where the whole ecosystem revolves around who's most lethal, and it's usually microbes and viruses who win, rare but they're out there, and also many more where human colonies are completely possible, that includes bringing in vegetable and animal species that we have here on Earth
Thank you for having followed
ps. or these front trunks compartments could be freezers, how come I didn't think of that, autonomy wise the RV has plenty of power, water, and it needs to have plenty of foodstuffs, it's not like the kitchenette fridge is going to cut it
so I need to wash those freezers without making a mess meaning they have plugs in them, and purge the water tanks above and anything cables, so those two ducts in the front
flush brackish water and purge the water tanks in the back so another two
transformers on the sides of the power bank, that part turned out great
those water tanks can be flushed in a flash too
the batteries have compartments above them so those are full height, even if anything electric is in water tight enclosures, so in all it allows for cleaning the whole trunks
last but not least we need a PMS, well everything that you will want to access from the trunks, including air cooling system, etc, and... we are going to stuff that in the midsection that we have, takes defining the lid and it does keep all our ducts separated since those are vertical sections
it's pretty user friendly, under that lid you have a couple of touchscreens that let you know what you are doing, simulate the changes that you want to make before you make them so that you can decide if that's what you want to do or not, it shows you where to find stuff inside the compartment, the PMS well that whole system is a project in itself
it's tricky doing an RV
done done
I am real proud of this level, you can look long and hard and not find a single exposed cable or duct
also the septic tank is below what we see here, because higher up we need to power the elevating platform
we still have to see the motors deck, but basically there we have it, a 4 persons RV, extendable to 6 since side by side seats can fit in the back minus the side compartments, it still has 8 beds, unlimited range, lots of water and large fridges, after that if you're a bit of a hunter or a fisherman you can go a long way, or if you're packing dry foods with the rest
it's these different things in terms of the evolution of mobility, range and autonomy have everything to do with it, BUMPER RV can go anywhere, cross any terrain under any weather circumpstances, it is in my opinion a real asset for setting up a camp, because it does all these things
