3. Humidifiers

Humidifiers are your secret weapon for improving indoor air quality. By introducing moisture into the air, they cause pollutants to settle, reducing dust, pollen, and other particulate matter. Apart from their air-cleansing benefits, humidifiers enhance indoor comfort, reduce static electricity, and create a more inviting atmosphere. Be cautious not to position humidifiers near vents or air intakes to prevent drawing in additional contaminants.

4. N99/FFP2 Masks for Defending Your Lungs

When you must venture outside, certified N99 or FFP2 masks act as your frontline defence, filtering out hazardous airborne particles, including the notorious PM2.5. These masks create a physical barrier against toxic air, enabling you to breathe cleaner and safer.

5. Inhalers and Breathing Analyzers

During severe air pollution episodes, breathing analyzers assist in managing respiratory health and identifying signs of distress. These tools enable individuals to seek timely medical attention. Inhalers, prescribed by a healthcare professional, provide immediate relief during breathing difficulties. It's crucial to follow your doctor's guidance and monitor your breathing regularly for optimal results.

In the face of Delhi's escalating air pollution, safeguarding your health becomes paramount. Utilise these essential gadgets to protect yourself and your loved ones, ensuring a safer and healthier environment during these challenging times.
