SUMMARY:(Fairfield) Air Quality DIY Home Air Filter Workshop

What can we do to reduce our air pollution and protect our homes? \nDr. Nick Spada will be joining us to answer all these questions and lead a workshop on how to build a cost-effective home air filter. \nDr. Spada is a scientist at the Air Quality Research Center of the University of California\, Davis.
