MacGyver Recipe: Box Fan + Ordinary Store Bought HVAC Air Filter + Duct Tape = Low-tech air filtration device.

Excellent idea!

(Also, wild guess here, but wetting the filter might slightly decrease the particle size of air contaminant permitted through; that is, it might slightly increase the efficacy of the filter -- but without testing against real world air polutants in real world scenarios, I wouldn't know that for a fact...)
