Risk of air pollution: Air pollution has increased significantly in Delhi NCR. The air quality has become so bad that it becomes difficult to breathe. In such a situation, it is advisable to use an air purifier to clean the air inside the house. But can pollution really be reduced with air purifiers? Let us know how air purifiers help reduce pollution.
How effective is the air purifier in reducing pollution?
Air purifiers purify the air by filtering dust particles, smoke, pollen and other toxic particles from the air. This also includes pet hair, bacteria and viruses spread in the air which are cleaned by the air purifier. Although air purifiers completely purify the air, there is no scientific evidence for this.
But where an air purifier is installed, the indicator installed on it gives an indication of the purity of the air. Air purifiers of different sizes and loads work depending on the density of the room. The larger the room, the more air purifier will be needed to purify its air.
How long should the air purifier work?
Health experts say you can’t run an air purifier like an air conditioner. Usually, people run the air conditioning for a few hours and turn it off when the room cools down. You can’t do this with an air purifier. You will need to run it continuously because the air in the room needs to be purified, not cooled.
If an air purifier is installed in the house, the doors and windows of the house should be kept closed. As a result, polluted outside air will not be able to enter the house and the air purifier will not have to do much work. The air purifier is very beneficial for asthma and bronchitis patients as it protects them from polluted air. You should keep in mind that the air purifier should continue to work as long as you stay in the house. It is also important to clean and maintain it from time to time, otherwise it will not be able to function effectively.
