Guide to Choosing Air Purifiers Amid Rising Indoor Air Pollution in India
As air pollution rises across India, especially in northern cities post-Diwali, air purifiers are increasingly sought to improve indoor air quality. Experts recommend choosing purifiers with True HEPA H13 filters, appropriate room coverage, and good Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR). Features like activated carbon filters, AQI displays, and smart controls enhance effectiveness. Price ranges vary widely, with options available under Rs 10,000 to Rs 20,000. Users should consider filter replacement costs, noise levels, and device maintenance when selecting a purifier to reduce exposure to harmful pollutants indoors.
