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.”

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.

Pollution a killer: Air purifier a good option, but arm yourself with these power 4 points

Protesters wearing protective masks leave after taking part in a rally against air pollution at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. (PTI)

As pollution spiked in Delhi, it sparked a political blame-game. On the one hand, people are struggling to take a breath and facing problems like allergy, breathlessness, low visibility due to smog, on other political parties are busy in brinkmanship. In this scenario, many residents have opted for air purifiers for their homes and cars. Though it’s a good and appreciable step but before investing in such a product you need to know this:

HEPA filters
HEPA or High-Efficiency Particulate Arrestance filters is must watch for while purchasing an air purifiers, thought all modern air purifiers feature this but you need to be conscious at your hand.
These filters are generally rated on the strength of how effciently they trap particles and they can trap some as small as 0.3 microns – for perspective, the thickness of a strand of human hair is about 50-150 microns. Therefore, any air purifier with a HEPA filter should be able to block out both PM 2.5 (particles that are 2.5-10 microns in diameter) and PM 10 (10 microns or more in diameter) particulates.

Dimension
For the effective work and cleanest air, you need to choose a right size air purifier that very much depends on the size of your room. Most manufacturers say what size of the room their purifiers would be effective for, but a thumb rule is to buy one bigger than the rated room size. So, for a room that is 300 sq feet in size, it is best to purchase an air purifier that can handle at least 400 sq ft. Also, because the extraordinary density.

How much effective is your device
Polluted or contaminated air usually contains three major particles: Smoke, Dust and Pollen, both vary in size, so, while purchasing an air purifier you need to choose the right one. It depends on Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR), that denotes how much air can be purified of all its particles, expressed in cubic feet per minute. When purchasing an air purifier, insist on getting all three numbers, given that smoke particles measure 0.09-1 micron, and are the hardest to filter out effectively.

Pollution masks
Pollution masks are also an effective way to save yourself from pollution but most masks or surgical masks available in the market are useless.Most pollution masks with a N99 rating (filtering 99 percent of particulate matter) will filter out dust particles, but will not do anything about the fumes.
Since desperate times — such as those prevalent in Delhi these days — call for desperate measures, a 3M face mask, paired with a P95 filter and an organic vapour cartridge, is an effective solution. This combination allows even chronic asthmatics to move around outdoors without problems.

Demand for air purifiers surges by nearly 50pc in Delhi-NCR: Survey

In the wake of poor air quality in Delhi-NCR post-Diwali, air purifier market in India has seen an increase of about 50 percent in its demand, according to an ASSOCHAM survey.

The objective of the survey is to measure 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 percent 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 them expressed concern saying people very often get disappointed when it comes to installing air purifiers in their homes because of its high price. The majority of the demand for air purifiers comes from offices, industrial and commercial establishments.

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.

“The national capital has been facing problem of haze for quite some time. Pollution, allergens and firecrackers together have further caused significant deterioration in Delhi’s air quality,” said DS Rawat, Secretary General of ASSOCHAM.

“All these factors together with growth in infrastructure development activities, growing sales of automobiles, urabnisation and industrialisation provide a lucrative market for air purifiers to enhance overall quality of air in commercial, industrial as well as residential settings across the region. Significant rise in per capita disposable income of consumers is also likely to drive air purifier sales,” added Rawat.

Buying an air-purifier: HEPA filters are a must, as is the right size

delhi, delhi pollution, delhi air pollution, air pollution delhi, delhi pollution, delhi pollution control, delhi air pollution control, delhi news, india news"

(Surgical masks, despite their popularity in Delhi these days, are useless against the smog and pollution haze.)

The blanket of toxic air over Delhi — the product of road and construction dust, vehicle emissions, crop- and waste-burning, smoke from Diwali fireworks, and the currently prevalent cool, still atmospheric conditions – doesn’t seem to be lifting. While the government struggles to get moving on an effective long-term plan to tackle the problem, many residents have begun to invest in air purifiers for their homes and cars. Here’s what to look for while buying one.

All modern air-purifiers feature High Efficiency Particulate Arrestance (HEPA) filters. These filters are generally rated to trap particles as small as 0.3 microns – for perspective, the thickness of a strand of human hair is about 50-150 microns. Therefore, any air purifier with a HEPA filter should be able to block out both PM 2.5 (particles that are 2.5-10 microns in diameter) and PM 10 (10 microns or more in diameter) particulates. To guard against possible confusion over what the acronym ‘HEPA’ denotes, it is a good idea to ensure the air-purifier mentions having both a ‘True HEPA filter’ and a rating of at least 0.3 microns. Some companies like Sharp claim their air-purifiers also neutralise germs — including e-coli and tuberculosis bacteria, H1N1 virus and even fungal spores — by mimicking the naturally occurring positive and negative ions in the air. You could buy a regular air-purifier and pair it with a standalone ionizer for the same effect.

Size matters

An air-purifier’s effectiveness will depend greatly on how big your room is, how much air the purifier can circulate, and how much ‘outside air’ gets in at any given time. Most manufacturers say what size of room their purifiers would be effective for, but a thumb rule is to buy one bigger than the rated room size. So, for a room that is 300 sq feet in size, it is best to purchase an air-purifier that can handle at least 400 sq ft. Also, because the extraordinary density of the current pollution and the volumes of air flowing in and out of the room will lower the purifier’s effectiveness, it is advisable to shut all doors and windows.

Delivery rate

The size match relies on an aspect of these devices called the Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR), which denotes how much air can be purified of all its particles, expressed in cubic feet per minute. Normally, there are three CADR ratings, one each for Smoke, Pollen and Dust, as these three particles tend to vary in size and thus are filtered out at varying efficiencies.

When purchasing an air-purifier, insist on getting all three numbers, given that smoke particles measure 0.09-1 micron, and are the hardest to filter out effectively. The higher the CADR number, the more effective the air purifier is for a given size of room.

Pollution masks

The surgical masks some people have been wearing are useless. They don’t seal your mouth and nose, and don’t filter out anything. Most pollution masks with a N99 rating (filtering 99% of particulate matter) will filter out dust particles, but will not do anything about the fumes.

Since desperate times — such as those prevalent in Delhi these days — call for desperate measures, a 3M face mask, paired with a P95 filter and an organic vapour cartridge, is an effective solution. This combination allows even chronic asthmatics to move around outdoors without problems. In fact, the mask filters out odours from cigarette smoke, vehicular emissions and even garbage dumps.

A less bulky option could be a mask from Respro, a UK-based company that makes neoprene masks that are equally effective. Respro’s Techno mask is ideal for the current situation as it comes with a P99 filter (rated to 0.3-micron efficiency) along with an organic vapour filter built in.

Fresh hot words: haze influence you?

t01e1e1f986bcc65f2d

 

 

Recently, much of the country has suffered haze weather, the northeast, North China, central China area have undergone severe haze weather. In late October, haze enveloped Harbin, forcing the bad weather in the primary school, kindergarten classes (suspend class). Recently, the Beijing Municipal Meteorological Bureau (Weather Bureau) within a week released 4 haze early warning I do not know, whether serious haze will affect Beijing’s bid for the 2022 Winter Olympics (Winter Olympic Games)? Winter day, Shanghai AQI Shen childe was bursting with haze volts. The children have been the ten volts haze weather affect? Today and learning together with “d haze related English words!

In English we usually say “haze” the haze, haze is composed of fog and haze, the primary pollutant PM2.5 haze (particulate matter 2.5) refers to the atmosphere in diameter less than or equal to 2.5 micron particles, is particulate matter into the lungs. Affected by haze influence, most areas in serious air pollution, here, small D to introduce the two often appear in weather reports in terms of AQI and api.aqi refers to the “air quality index” (air quality index), API refers to the “air pollution index” (air pollution index), API index is larger, that air pollution is more serious. In English we can also express the haze weather using “airpocalypse”, the word is “air” and “Apocalypse” spelled into the smoke, dust, pollution caused by extreme weather interaction by the air , can be translated as “the end of the air, the end of the air”.

Severe haze weather caused anti-dust masks (anti-dust respirator/mask) (sell out), almost out of the air purifier are also sold out of stock. Some time ago rumors haze weather will affect the reproductive capacity (reproductive capacity) (Khan)?! is it true? The expert response, even if there is also not too much. At present, the haze of harm to human health or the most direct increase of respiratory system disease (respiratory system disease) incidence. So in the face of haze, we want to minimize out at home, remember to close the window! Small D (foodies) are recommended chowhound eat some Qingfeihuatan food, for example pear (pear), orange (Orange), black fungus (black fungus) (snow fungus), tremella. Do you remember?

Air purifier sales spike in India as its cities battle pollution

As the government fumbles over effective measures to curb severe air quality in India’s capital of New Delhi, people are increasingly looking at air purifiers for relief.

SEE ALSO: NASA reveals why New Delhi is blanketed with deadly smog

Major ecommerce businesses in India are reporting significant surge in the sales of air purifier units in the country. The product category, which has existed in India for over two decades but struggled to become a household name, has suddenly become a talking point among people on social media.

Amazon India says it sold three times more air purifiers this Diwali compared to the previous month. Almost half of all these orders came from cities such as Delhi, Gurgaon and Bangalore. Flipkart had similar findings, noting that it has seen 2.5 times growth in air purifier units sale compared to last year.

The sudden interest in air purifying products among people comes as several Indian cities report of increasingly growing air pollution after Diwali. The festival of light, which sees many people burst crackers, combined with the burning of farmlands and residual fodders in nearby states, have resulted in an unprecedented severe air quality in New Delhi and several other states in India.

Five days after Diwali, for instance, the air quality index reading of the national capital is still classified as “hazardous”. A report on UNICEF published this week found that over two billion children worldwide breathe polluted air. India and China were among the most affected countries.

Not just air purifiers, but people are also actively looking for air masks for immediate comfort. “Sales of pollution masks have jumped 6X in the last few days with customer demand being 13X over last year. The highest number of orders for pollution masks were placed by customers on Nov. 1. The demand continues to be high from northern India with most orders coming from Delhi,” an Amazon India spokesperson told Mashable India. The surge in sales happened a couple of days after Diwali, which fell on Oct. 30 this year.

People of the Han Dynasty invented the “air purifier” so long, you have seen?

In winter, the haze is becoming increasingly serious, direct harm to our health. But now developed technology, although the haze problem has not been radical, but we can use anti haze masks outdoors, indoors can purify the air using air purifiers, improve air quality to ensure good health.

Then the problem has come, because the ring (air) (gas) (gas) asked (net) problem (chemical) is not only a problem and demand, so the ancient people in the face of air pollution is how to do it?

As early as 2000 years ago during the Han Dynasty, the wisdom of the Chinese has started the production and use of “air purifier“. So, today we will try to understand the people of the Han Dynasty invented the “air purifiers” look like what, what is the working principle.

Lighting is widely used in the Han Dynasty of the animal fat as fuel, not full combustion of carbon particles and combustion ashes with the hot air flow becomes volatile, leading to indoor smoke. In order not to be choked to death, Han people began to study how to purify the indoor air. Thus, people of the Han Dynasty invented long letter lanterns. Wild fish lamp and lamp set lighting, copper cattle! Invented the three lighting tool is the people of the Han Dynasty the air purification, the aesthetic value of the function of “air purifier”

                                                                                        （Bull lamp ）

 

Of course, around the long letter lanterns, lamp and other lamps Yan copper cattle may vary, but generally in the above three, but the work principle of all the same.

 

 

（Schematic diagram of each part of wild fish lamp）

 

 

Long letter lanterns, lamp and lamp adopts the bull goose “water filter smoke” way to purify the air. It is a long letter palace lantern, or wild fish lamp and copper cattle light, all contain at least “lamp, lampshade, lamp holder, flue flue (long letter lanterns in the palace is the right arm, a smoke channel of wild fish lamp as the flue pipe gooseneck, it is between the first cattle and light box), 5 tank”, other three kinds of lamps are constructed with reasonable design, many components can be disassembled, and the lamp shade can be arbitrary direction of rotation, to adjust the brightness and the illumination angle. When the lights lit. Through the smoke flue into the palace, wild goose fish and bull’s body, by water filtration, containing dissolved, so as to keep indoor air fresh, preventing pollution of oil fume on indoor air.

Although the gap between the three “air purifier ” and now really great, but in the Han Dynasty have practical exquisite invention of such a set of environmental protection and the Arts in a is rare, simply called black technology, have to admire the wisdom of the ancients!

Outdoor air purifier project gathers dust

An outdoor air purifier was installed outside Palika Bazaar in 2010.photo: special arrangement

While the Delhi government is considering installing outdoor air purifiers at traffic intersections, it turns out that the last time the city experimented with such a project, it was left hanging for five years.

The New Delhi Municipal Council had set up an air filtering station in 2010, before the Commonwealth Games.

The purifier was installed outside Palika Bazaar in Connaught Place free of cost by a company called System Life on March 6, 2010. The machine cleaned 10,000 cubic metres of air every hour for about 18 months. The system worked by cleaning polluted air of particulate matter and gases with fabric filters, active carbon cartridges and electrostatic filters.

According to System Life India director Dhruv Chanana, the machine was operational till October 18, 2011, before being removed. “It was removed because no one wanted to accept the need to clean the air,” said Mr. Chanana, adding that had the NDMC gone ahead with more such purifiers, the pollution levels in the area would have reduced. That being said, the authorities have remained mum on the effectiveness of such a project.

Dr. P.K. Sharma, NDMC’s Medical Officer of Health, said it was a pilot project and had not received the necessary approvals to continue. “It was a free demonstration by the company. Before continuing with the project, it required clearance of the Central Pollution Control Board and the Delhi Pollution Control Committee. We are yet to receive that,” said Dr. Sharma.

95% efficiency

The air samples from the trial were analysed by three Italian scientists, including from the University of Modena. Their report was submitted to the NDMC and subsequently to the DPCC.

According to the report, a copy of which is with The Hindu , a total of 2.12 kg of particulate matter had been detained in 860 hours and the filtering efficiency of the system was 95 per cent.

The report concluded that with an “appropriate number of systems” (about 22 for Connaught Place) the air quality of an area could improve.

The DPCC, which works under the Delhi government’s Environment and Forest Department, for its part, did not make any comments on the efficiency of the system, as per a letter sent by one of its scientists to System Life on October 12, 2010. According to the letter, a copy of which is with The Hindu , the DPCC had not commented on the report “as no specific study was undertaken” by it.

Environmentalists, however, used the experience of the NDMC project to question the AAP government’s proposal to install outdoor air purifiers. Anumita Roychowdhury, the head of the Centre for Science and Environment’s air pollution and clean transportation programme, said air purifiers worked within confined environments, “but outdoor air is a complex chemistry with dynamic movement pattern”.
