Harvey,

You want a unit that has a HEPA filter to remove very small particles, a
prefilter to reduce the load on the HEPA filter and probably an activated
charcoal filter to remove organic vapors. The prefilter and charcoal filter
should be replaced regularly. The HEPA filters are very long lived and
actually get more efficient over time.

Yes. Make sure you get one large enough for your work/live space.

Harvey,

If you call me in the office, I will give you the name of an electrostatic
filter that is considered one of the most effective.

Harvey,

We have wonderfully clear and clean air here in S. Florida. Come on down and
clear out your lungs.

Harvy,

The recent Consumer Reports had a comprehensive review of air cleaners.

Especially on the WEST coast of Florida!!!

Hello Jack,

I was in St. Petersberg yesterday. A lot of traffic, so I am wondering about
that Flkorida West Coast air quality. BUT, as I passed Cork Screw Swamp on
my way hone, everything smelled so much sweeter. :-)

Hope all is well my friend.
It was nice seeing you FotoFusion.

Mike

Jon,
Call FEMA at:  1-800-621-3362, and they should be able to tell you, or IFG (I
don't know what that stands for) in Albany, 1-866-346-0348, who is handling the
grant money distribution.  They should know, but I'll bet you are elligible.  I
think the application Deadline is in March.
