Air Pollution Risk: Air pollution has increased a lot in Delhi NCR. The air quality has become so bad that it is becoming difficult to breathe. In such a situation, it is advisable to use air purifiers to clean the air inside the house. But can pollution really be reduced through air purifiers? Let us know how air purifiers help in reducing pollution.

How effective is air purifier in reducing pollution

Air purifiers actually purify the air by filtering out dust particles, smoke, pollen and other toxic particles present in the air. This also includes animal fur, airborne bacteria and viruses which are cleaned by the air purifier. However, there is no scientific evidence that air purifiers completely purify the air.

But where the air purifier is installed, the indicator on it indicates that the air is clean. Air purifiers of different sizes and loads work depending on the density of the room. The bigger the room, the bigger the air purifier will be needed to clean its air.

How long should you run an air purifier? 

Health experts say that you cannot run an air purifier like an AC. Usually people run the AC for a few hours and turn it off when the room cools down. You cannot do this with an air purifier. You have to run it continuously because the air in the room has to be cleaned and not cooled.

If an air purifier is installed in the house, then the doors and windows of the house should be kept closed. This will prevent the polluted air from outside from entering the house and the air purifier will not have to work much. Air purifiers are very beneficial for asthma and bronchitis patients because through this they remain safe from polluted air. You have to take care that the air purifier should keep running for as long as you stay in the house. It is also important to clean it from time to time and get it serviced, otherwise it will not be able to work effectively.
