Technical News Office – Pollution levels in Delhi-NCR become a matter of serious concern every year during the winter season. This time too, even before the onset of winter, the level of air pollution has become very dangerous, which can be extremely harmful to health. Today, the AQI has crossed 300 in some areas and is expected to reach 400 after Diwali. Exceeding the AQI 400 means that the amount of fine particles (PM2.5 and PM10) in the air becomes so high that they can enter directly into our lungs and blood.
For this reason, even a healthy person can have many problems like difficulty breathing, sore throat and cough, burning sensation and watery eyes. People suffering from asthma or any respiratory illness may see their condition worsen. You can protect yourself to some extent by taking steps like eating a healthy diet, keeping windows and doors closed, and always staying hydrated. Apart from this, you will also need to take steps to protect yourself from polluted air inside the house. For this, you can use a high-quality air purifier. Make sure to install an air purifier in the bedroom and living room. HEPA filter: Make sure the air purifier is equipped with a HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter. It can filter up to 99.97% of small particles (down to 0.3 microns), which is effective in combating pollution, dust, smoke and allergenic particles in the air.
CADR (clean air delivery rate): CADR shows how quickly and how much air the purifier can clean. Prefer purifiers with higher CADR ratings, especially if you are buying for a larger room.
Coverage area: When purchasing a purifier, choose based on the size of the room you are in. It is important to check the coverage area listed in the product description to ensure it is suitable for your room.
carbon filter: If you want to avoid smoke, odors or harmful gases in the house, choose a purifier with an activated carbon filter. It can also effectively remove odors and gaseous pollutants.
Air Changes Per Hour (ACH): It measures how many times the purifier can clean the air in a room in an hour. In highly polluted areas like Delhi, you need a purifier with at least 4-5 ACH.
noise level: The noise level of the purifier should be low, especially if you want to use it at night or while you sleep. To check this, check the noise rating of the product. 35-50 dB is ideal.
It would be better if they were smart features.
Smart sensor: Some purifiers are equipped with smart sensors, which adjust the speed of the purifier by monitoring air quality. This is a great feature because it saves energy and continuously monitors air quality.
PM2.5 Alarm and Indicator: A good air purifier can monitor PM2.5 particles, which are the most harmful pollution particles. Some purifiers also have a real-time air quality indicator, which constantly shows you the air quality.
Energy Efficiency: Since then, air quality in Delhi may remain poor for long periods and air purifiers may need to operate for longer periods. So choose energy-efficient purifiers so that energy consumption is less.
