Seeley school teaches students how to build indoor air purifiers

SEELEY, Calif. (KYMA) - In a community where air quality challenges are part of daily life, students, parents and school staff at Seeley Union School District took action by learning how to build their own indoor air purifiers.

A recent workshop, led by Comite Civico del Valle (CCV) in partnership with Seeley Elementary School, gave staff and students hands-on tools to improve their health and protect vulnerable residents.

The training focused on constructing Corsi-Rosenthal boxes, low-cost, do-it-yourself indoor air purifiers made with simple materials but capable of dramatically improving air quality inside homes and classrooms.

Imperial Valley has some of the highest asthma rates in California, making indoor air protection especially critical for families with children and elderly relatives.
