Delhi’s poor AQI: Can air purifiers help?

The Hindu  

Life has turned upside down for Delhi residents as the air pollution level soars in India’s capital. Mr. Haider Ali Khan, a journalist who works in Delhi, said the city’s air pollution has drastically affected visibility and health. For instance, a basic Honeywell air purifier costs under ₹10,000, offering simple air quality colour indicators, while a premium Dyson model provides detailed AQI reports, a smartphone app, and stylish designs. However, many smaller or low-cost air purifiers struggle to handle high pollution levels, with numerous negative reviews citing devices failing to reduce the AQI despite hours of use. Dr. Kamran Ali, lead thoracic surgeon at Max Super Speciality Hospital, emphasised that air purifiers are most effective when matched to the room size.
