Fresh & Cool: DIY Air Purifiers & Heat Safety

All DayHome

All Day, CHIMES

Join CHIMES for a hands-on workshop where we’ll show you how to build your own DIY air purifier, a low-cost tool to help protect you and your loved ones from air pollution, like wildfire smoke and cars. Stop by for a live demo and take home a kit to build your own (while supplies last).

We’ll also sharing practical heat safety tips, with resource sheets created by internal medicine residents at Mount Sinai.

While you’re there, help us build a community climate map by adding the places in your neighborhood where you feel stress, relief, or support, from overheated blocks to local cooling centers and healing spaces.

CHIMES, Community & Household Infant-Maternal Exposure Study, is a longitudinal pilot project, led by caregivers and researchers from Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst, investigating the impact of the environment — beginning in pregnancy — on maternal and child health.

We hope that by studying how structural racism — often reflected in inequitable environmental and housing conditions — affects maternal and child health outcomes, we can shed light on the impact of environmental and neighborhood exposures on the health of both mothers and their children.
