The battle to buy a smog mask in India’s pollution-Olans two products you deserve

My own mother usually kicks off our phone conversations by asking, “Have you eaten yet?” But since I m

oved to New Delhi three weeks ago, she has adopted a new opening question: “Have you bought a mask or air purifiers?”

This weekend, I finally relented and bought a face mask designed to protect against pollution particles. I did it for mom. But I also did it because Delhi’s air has reached levels of toxicity that are putting my asthmatic lungs — really anyone’s lungs — in serious danger.

I wasn’t the only Delhi-walla looking for protection.

When I arrived at Nirvana Being, a small shop in the city’s upscale Khan Market that sells anti-pollution products, there were at least 15 people in line to buy face masks. By the time I made my purchase, there were around 20 more.

In depth: Delhi’s fight for clean air

“When we opened that store people thought I was nuts,” said Jai Dhar Gupta, who heads the store’s parent company. “Now we have lines for 10 hours a day.”

Gupta declined to share exact sales figures, but he claims to have sold more masks in the past 10 days than he sold all of last year.

It’s a scene playing out all over the city — in pharmacies, electronics stores and anywhere else that sells masks and air filters that might provide relief.

Already notorious because of its toxic air, pollution in Delhi has skyrocketed over the past week. Measurements of dangerous particles taken at the U.S. Embassy in Delhi put the city’s Air Quality Index (AQI) at 999 on Monday, off the standard chart, which finishes at the “hazardous” level of 500.

The suffocating smog has reduced visibility in the city to just a few meters, and the Delhi government has closed schools for at least three days.

The dire situation has taken anti-pollution devices and attire from niche to mainstream, with a report by research firm TechSci predicting that the air purifier market in India will go from 40,000 units to 100,000 units over the next year and generate over $200 million in revenue by 2021.

So,If you don’t want to wear a mask at home/office/school.You should buy a air purifier for home/office/school to ues.

Enter the Clean Air Machine/Air purifiers

The post-Diwali pollution has left Delhi dealing with the worst smog it has ever experienced. As the pollution results in watering eyes and tightness in the chest, many have now taken to buying air purifiers in the hope that it would provide some guard against lung-­damaging conditions.

As pollution levels soared manifold beyond the prescribed limit, sales of devices for pur­ifying indoor air also jumped 50 per cent in the first week of November. Suvendu Mazumdar, national product manager of Spark international, one of the leading manufacturers of air purifiers in the country, says he is being flooded with inquiries about purifiers throughout the day. “The air situation in the country has deteriorated so much that I have people not only from Delhi, but other parts of the country too, inquiring about what type of purifier to buy,” he says.

The visible pollution as well as the fog has made many people prone to asthma and all­ergies rush to to buy these devices to prevent further damage. In fact, most companies producing such devices are now marketing the air purifiers as the next big revolution since water purifiers. “Air purifiers will be the next water purifiers,” says Jayati Singh.02

 

Concerned about the impact on employees, many organisations are also rushing to install air purifiers in their premises. Several embassies in Delhi have taken measures to set up pollution-free zones within their perimeters. The German embassy, for instance, has equipped its central ventilation system to include an air filter that purifies the air. “Since December 2014, the purchase of air purifiers for the expatriate staff’s private homes has been subsidised and all embassy staff are entitled to an additional three days of leave that must be spent outside Delhi,” says a press release by the German embassy. Most multinational companies too have issued guidelines with incentives to get their employees to install purifiers at homes as well.

So how effective are air purifiers in combating these levels of pollution? One can only guess as so far no government or independent scientific institution has done any study of their impact. Vivek Chattopadhyay of Delhi-based NGO Centre for Science and Environment points out that the air purifiers’ appeal is largely based on faith and says, “The devices perform at best like an air conditioner that traps the air within the room and circulates that same air.”

Chattopadhyay rubbishes the Delhi government’s claims of installing air purifier systems on traffic signals as “useless”, saying the possibility of such devices working in open spaces is even less. And yet, for people living in polluted cities such as Delhi and Patna, the purifiers bring the only believable promise of respite from the deadly pollution, however temporary and limited. No wonder more and more of them are shelling out the bucks, hoping for that sliver of chance to prevent long-term health damage.

The demand for purifiers has increased more particularly due to smaller kids and senior citizens

In the wake of Delhi-NCR region reeling under record breaking pollution levels, the sale of air purifying equipment such as air purifiersand N-95 masks has escalated manifold during last three days in Indirapuram.

The demand of air purifiers is soaring at an all time high in the market and their immediate availability is out of stock. “The demand for air purifiers has increased in the last three days especially in the last two days. We have sold more than 15 pieces today itself and almost a dozen of them have been booked in advance as well,” said Dheeraj, a salesman.

The demand for purifiers has increased more particularly due to smaller kids and senior citizens, who are the worst hit in this air pollution crisis. “I am buying this purifier for sake of my mother who is 60 years old. She has been complaining of respiratory problems for the last two-three days and has been coughing a lot,” said P Verma, customer and resident of Ashiana Upavan, Indirapuram, who was browsing at an electronic store.

“I have two kids, who are 10 and 6 years old. I live on 13th floor and the effect of smog has been bothering my family for long. I had bought this air purifier yesterday itself,” said another customer.

“I was in an urgent need so I thought of coming to a retail store like CROMA, otherwise the sale of these purifiers is also strong online and will cost 10 percent less as well,” said a customer.

A basic air purifier consists of a three layer filteration system; the first filter is the ‘Pre filter’ which cleanses the solid, slightly large impure particles from the environment like hair, larger dust particles, small insects etc., the second filter is called a ‘Carbon filter’ which absorbs the harmful and toxic fumes, cigarette smoke, foul smell among more and the final step of filtration is called ‘Hapa filter’, which cleanses the air of any bacteria and viruses. However, features like digital indicators and sound sensors are basically found in the more expensive purifiers.

At the same time, the demand of face covering masks has also critically increased.

To combat the current level of air pollution, which falls under the P3 level of pollution, special N-95 masks have stormed through the markets which are specially equipped for handling such drastic levels of pollution. “I had bought this N-95 mask today itself, because I have been experiencing breathing issues since yesterday. I tried four different pharmacies but it was out of stock everywhere. I finally got it for Rs 200 from a guy who was selling these for twice the cost,” said a passerby.

Another mask user said, “I have been trying to look for the N-95 masks since yesterday but it was out of stock everywhere, that is why I have bought these simple surgical masks for myself and my children, which are priced at Rs 6 per piece.”

Demand for air purifier in Delhi-NCR perks up by 50% post Diwali: Assocham survey

MANGALURU: Air purifier market in India has seen a spike of about 50% in its demand in wake of poor air quality in Delhi-NCR post-Diwali, noted a quick ASSOCHAM survey.
The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) conducted a survey to gauge the hike in demand for air purifying kits across 200 electronic and general stores in Delhi-NCR in past four days.

“There has been an explosion in demand for air purifiers which has jumped nearly 50 per cent as air quality in and around Delhi has become hazardous post-Diwali festival,” said majority of electronic and general stores’ representatives selling such items.

“The demand for air purifier in India has been growing rapidly across metros in India but as the smog problem became severe in Delhi after Diwali the demand for such kits has become really huge and is likely to grow steadily,” said many of the store managers.

However, many of these said that people looking to install air purifiers in their homes get disappointed owing to high costs and term it more of a luxury product. As such most of such customers are only enquiring and their number is growing by the day.

The demand is more from offices, industrial and commercial establishments, said many of these.

As per market experts, the air purifier market in India is still in nascent stage and is estimated at about Rs 250 crore but has been growing by leaps and bounds since past one year owing to rising awareness about impact of air pollution.

Delhi Government to set up air purifier to curb air pollution

The Delhi Government yesterday issued a warning for a “critically polluted period ahead” as the capital recorded its worst air quality since February.

Image Credit: Bloomberg

The Delhi Government on Friday announced to set up air purifier at five major traffic congestion points in its first phase of the blue print in order to curb air pollution in the national capital.  This move has been taken on the recommendations of the task force headed by Health Minister Satyendra Jain.  The Delhi Government and National Environment and Energy Research Institute (NEERI) is at the final stage of discussion to set up this mega air purifier in 15 days at five major traffic congestion points, which include Anand Vihar, Kashmiri Gate, ITO, AIIMS/IIT Delhi and Sarai Kale Khan, on a pilot basis.

The government has assured to make all the five set up to be functional within six weeks.  Jain said a mist fountain technology will be set up to at one major intersection on pilot basis, adding this will throw mist in polluted air from recycled water which will trap the dust particle available in the air.   “Mist air pollution technology is very established but has not yet been tried for outdoor air pollution. To try its efficiency, we will test it on outdoor air pollution,” Jain told the media here.

Talking about the solid waste management system, Jain said the Rajghat Power Plant, which is not functional from quite a long time, will be changed into waste to energy power plant. 400 mt/per day waste will be used in the first phase, which will later be expanded to 6000 mt/day.   All phases of this project is expected to be functional by December 2017.   However, no announcement has yet been made on the Odd-Even scheme of the Delhi Government.  The Delhi Government yesterday issued a warning for a “critically polluted period ahead” as the capital recorded its worst air quality since February.

The National Air Quality Index showed that pollution levels were severe at Anand Vihar, R.K. Puram and Punjabi Bagh. The air quality at Dilshad Garden, Dwarka and Mandir Marg stations was “very poor”.  Delhi has been witnessing high rate of air pollution from the past one year.   The Delhi Government tried to curb down the pollution by implementing Odd-Even scheme in December last year.

Breathe easy with an air purifier

Breathe easy with an air purifier

Some time ago Noida-based entrepreneur Sushmita Sinha’s son had a cough that lasted for almost a month. A worried Sinha decided to buy an air purifier. “It had a dramatic effect. Earlier, my son would lie awake at night coughing, but now he sleeps peacefully,” says Sinha. 
An air purifier can be a panacea for many. “If pollutants like pollen, dust, dust mites, mould, tobacco smoke and pet dander trigger seasonal allergies in you; if there is someone with asthma, a child with an underdeveloped immune system, a pregnant lady or a pet in the house; or you live in a construction zone, you should buy an air purifier,” says Jayati Singh, business head – air, health and wellness.
The first thing to look for in an air purifier is a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter. “Buy an air purifier with a HEPA filter and not one with a HEPA-type filter,” says Marzin Shroff, chief executive officer – direct sales and senior vice president – marketing, Eureka Forbes. An activated carbon filter and microbial disinfection are other must-have features.
Also pay heed to the air purifier’s Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR), a measure of the purified air being delivered (metre cubes per hour) by an air purifier operating at its highest speed setting. “Match the appropriate CADR to your room size,” says Mahesh Gupta, chairman, Kent RO Systems.
Buy an air purifier that is suited to your needs. According to Singh, the HEPA filter is a boon for an asthmatic, while an ozone-based purifier should be strictly avoided. ECARF certified models (a European certification meant to help allergic customers) with HEPA filters are ideal for people with allergies. A device with a pre-filter is a must for those residing in areas with heavy construction activity. For people living in places with high levels of gases, odours and pets, activated carbon works well.
If you are going to use the machine in your bedroom, buy a machine with a low level of noise. Also, buy one with adjustable speed settings so that you can turn it up to a higher setting when you are not in the room. “Purchase a machine with a slightly higher square-foot capacity than you need, so that you can run it effectively on its quieter ‘low’ setting, resulting in less noise and less energy consumption,” says Singh. A display, which shows the quality of indoor air, is a useful feature. Some air purifiers come with a humidifier, which helps maintain the right level of humidity indoors.
When choosing a manufacturer, go for one whose replaceable items such as filters will be easily available. Most air purifiers have two filters — a HEPA filter and a carbon filter — that have to be changed every six months or one year. Pay attention to the number of years of warranty provided with the machine. Prices of room purifiers can begin from Rs 9,000 and go as high as Rs 40,000. According to Shroff of Eureka Forbes, “The price depends on the room size, CADR, number of stages of filtration, and so on.”

All you need to know before purchasing an air purifier

What an air purifier?

An air purifier is a simple device consisting of a fan (or two) and filters. Since most pollutants are suspended particulates, these devices work by mechanically separating the pollutants by forcing air through filters. Typically, they don’t consume much electricity either, ranging from 15 to 60 watts depending on the filtration capacity and additional features.

Why do you need one?

There are many different sources of air pollution and if you live in a city, chances are, you need one of these already. Breathing cleaner air helps you sleep better, improves lung function and overall health. If someone in the family suffers from allergies, one of these can be quite useful because it will remove common allergens like pollen, dust, pet hair and so on.

How do you choose one?

Air purifiers are rated with a coverage area (square feet). Measure your room and buy something that has a higher coverage. For instance, if your room is 300sq feet, buy something that is rated for 400sq feet or higher. There are multiple brands to choose from now and the rest depends on your budget and the kind of features you require.

How many do you need?

This depends on where you need clean air. If you’re getting just one, start with the bedroom because that’s where you’ll be sleeping and where you’ll spend the most amount of time.You can move them from room to room as required but it will take a while for it to clean a room completely. Ideally, each room needs to have one of it’s own.

What kind & how many filters do they have?

The primary filter you should look for is HEPA or high-efficiency particulate air filter. It mechanically separates pollutants from the air since it has multiple layers of interlocked fibers. [prisna-wp-translate-show-hide behavior=”show”]The HEPA is the most expensive type of filter. [/prisna-wp-translate-show-hide]There’s also usually a carbon filter which is used to remove odours and dissolved chemicals.Some of the devices include a washable pre-filter -this catches the larger dust particles, hair, pet dander and so on. You can periodically take it out, cleanwash it and ..

Where should you place it?

Placement is important for maximum efficacy. The clean air delivery rate and effective coverage area is measured with the device in an empty room. If you place it under a table, right up against a wall or in between large pieces of furniture, the amount of air it can circulateclean is reduced. Give it enough room and it should work a lot better. Also keep in mind that they work only with closed doors windows.

Any other filter tips?

Filters need to be replaced periodically. This is where the recurring cost of the air purifier lies. Some air purifiers have multiple filters and some have compound filters (two or three in one). If you can, find out the cost of the filters and expected life before making a purchase.
Be sure to switch off the air purifier when sweeping the room -it greatly prolongs the life of the unit. You can also use a vacuum cleaner on the front of a filter to clear off accumulated dust.

Extra features

An ionizer generates negative ions which claims to attract and neutralise harmful particles in the air.Some studies have shown that using ionizers can lead to breathing issues (electromagnetically charged particles can turn into Ozone) so we advise avoiding this feature. Humidifiers use water stored in a tank to boost humidity. Other things you can look for a night mode (extra quiet), WiFi and smartphone control, air quality indicator, display, remote control and temperature humidity sensors. < ..

More about air pollution

Air pollution is not only caused by your car and bursting of crackers. Sources can include seasonal crop burning, construction, burning of fossil fuels in factories, waste landfills and even green house gas emission. Indoor air can also be worse than outdoor air because pollutants accumulate -accelerated by poor ventilation and additional sources of indoor pollution like cooking, pets and chemical cleaning products.

Can air purifiers and masks protect you from the poisonous Delhi air?

With worsening smog levels turning Delhi (NCR) into a virtual gas chamber, demand for air purifiers and masks is at an all-time high. Delhi experienced the worst smog in 17 years after Diwali, with PM2.5 readings, which have a safe limit of 60 micrograms per cubic meter, having gone up to an alarming 900 in some parts of the city last week. The situation triggered a spurt in the purchase of air purifiers and masks in the national capital.

airpollution“I bought an air purifier and masks primarily because of my children. My son and daughter were complaining about discomfort in breathing after Diwali night,” says Prasanna Singh, a resident of Alakhnanda in South Delhi. However, he’s clueless about the effectiveness of the masks and air purifier. He adds,

I don’t know whether they actually help in filtering out particulate matter and hazardous gases or not.

Prasanna isn’t the only one expressing concern over the quality of masks and purifiers; YourStory spoke to several people who purchased them – all seemingly unaware of the true effectiveness of the products.

When it comes to air purifiers, one tends to look at the lower and mid-range products in the market and get excited by the area covered and the lower prices (in the range of Rs 10,000-20,000). One must read the fine print – these devices have inferior motors and far inferior filters.
