This is good, but why is it in English, not Chinese? If you want to reach people wouldn't the best way be to post on the various forums netizens like to hang out in?
Maybe they are trying to connect with the expat community.

Re: Smart Air
#73I love simple and affordable alternatives to otherwise expensive solutions like this. This is a fantastic idea.
Re: Smart Air
#74Crazy. I was just thinking about doing this in my place a few months ago. I was going to actually build a little container that fit in a window and have a HEPA filter from McMaster-Carr (or wherever) sitting behind computer tower cooling fans, as these fans are designed to be quiet and low-power. This design has a ready-made chassis, though.

I don't see anything on their website. Looks like a new install of wordpress.

Why is killing bacteria always good?
Ah the perils of text language. You're not sure if he's referring to both bacteria and pet dander or just pet dander.
Yes, it's somewhat ambiguous. You don't even know if they kill bacteria and they pet [verb] dander. English grammar is crazy ambiguous.

#77This is a very neat idea, though I suspect they'll ultimately want a more powerful fan. Note that high quality air filters also have a carbon pre-filter that gets changed more often than the HEPA filter, and having one ought to make your HEPA filter last much longer, especially in somewhere like Bejing. They also play a part in controlling odors. This is what I'm currently using and love it to death. Note that the cu…
Thanks for the recommendation :) I bought one and hopefully it'll last me a long time. How long have you had yours?
Re: Smart Air
#78Cool; for a couple of years now, I've purchased furnace filters and used a simple box fan. It handles a great deal of particulates in the air (compare rooms during a sunny day with an without the fan is very stark)

#79For someone living in a city with reasonably clean air and no smog problem, does filtering the air in their living space provide any long-term health benefits?
i don't have a study, but i live in santiago, which has smog in winter, and buying an air filter cured (or at least coincided with the cure of) my bronchitis.

a quote from the movie with the mock history of dr kellogs: health is the easy way to a fool's wallet. that said I have 3 expensive of those filter at my home. not that one, 3 other different brands. The main factor for my purchases were silence. and ironically the only one that was silent is a discontinued sharp model that sold for $150. all the $300 models are awful. specially the blueAir one that focus all it's ma…
> health is the easy way to a fool's wallet No it's not, especially with a preemptive health solution (solving a problem people don't feel they have).
You seem to be suggesting that pre-emptive health solutions are a very considered purchase, but isn't fear a major driver of such purchases? Perhaps not unwarranted fear, but fear is also not very conducive to completely rational purchasing behavior.
