10+ Years Social Mission
The First DIY Air Purifier
Thomas Talhelm strapped a HEPA filter to a fan to combat air pollution in China. A few magazines picked up his “rediscovery,” and the Beijing Energy Network invited him to lead DIY workshops to help Beijingers build their own air purifiers.
As interest grew, many struggled to find quality parts, so Thomas, Anna, and Gus founded Smart Air to provide affordable fans and filters worldwide.
