I keep reading about Corsi–Rosenthal boxes as DIY air purifiers that outperform all commercially available air purifiers.
You literally only duct-tape four HVAC filters together and slap any regular PC fan onto them.
US-Americans recommend the brand #Filtrete for MERV-rated HVAC filters, but in Europe that brand costs at least twice or thrice as much as in the USA.
Are there any equivalent affordable HVAC filters in Europe with a MERV rating of 8 or 13? Or do I simply have to swallow the additional cost because HVAC filters aren't as ubiquitous in Europe as they are in North America?

@davidculley@hachyderm.io youve probably seen that https://corsirosenthalfoundation.org/resources/how-to-build-a-corsi-rosenthal-box-uk/ but doesnt really help you with the supply problem as they mention 3M as well
