Every country uses development in terms of infrastructure as a progressive index. Thus we have the construction of buildings, bridges, roads, etc. However, on the other hand we also have an increase in pollution due to the above. Of these, air pollution is the most dangerous as it is always all around you. There is pollution in the very air you breathe in. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the cities of Delhi, Patna, Gwalior, Raipur, Ahmedabad and Lucknow were among the top most polluted cities in the world.
Due to air being free flowing, it is rarely in one place. This also makes pollution shift around with it easily. Hence even indoor air is subject to as much (or even more) pollution than outdoors. This can lead to a lot of health problems like allergies, asthma, lung cancer, etc. According to the Central Pollution Control Board India, the air pollution in India has been increasing incredibly, and there is very little done to control it. The nation is suffering from air pollution to an extent where, one can literally see it in the air.
Technological advancements were made to find a solution to the problem. Unfortunately they were not up to the mark. The problem was too grave to and could not be contained. Then a different our look was presented wherein, the polluted air was dealt with on a smaller scale, indoors. This was a feasible and successful option.
This is when ionizer purifiers were introduced, in the late 1990’s and early 2000s. An ionizer purifier basically uses a high voltage electrical charge to turn the molecules present in the atmosphere into negative ions. These negative ions stick to particles (like dust, cigarette smoke, etc.) thus making them larger and easier to catch in the purifier’s filters.
However, with the increase in pollution merely these are not enough. Kent, a leading brand in air purifiers has introduced its HEPA Air Purifiers. These purifiers consist of four stages for fresh, clean and pure air. The first stage involves the removal of visible particles in the air such as dust, hair, cobwebs, etc. through a pre- filter. The second stage reduces foul smell, strong odours and oxides (Nitrogen and Sulphur) through an activated carbon filter. In the third stage the purifier, removes bacteria and eliminates 99.9% of the PM 2.5 particulate matter from the air. The ionizer does its work in the fourth stage thus ensuring a higher quality of air.
