Philips AC4014 30-Watt Air Purifier review in India

Philips 30-Watt Air Purifier


What does an air purifier do ? Do you really need it ?

Air pollution is a major problem in India and household air is also polluted.

Delhi’s severely high pollution levels during the winter months drives it to India’s worst annual air quality levels, but on individual days, several Indian cities often experience worse air quality. For the first week of April, for example, the urban area with the worst air quality of 17 locations analysed by The Hindu was the BTM Layout region of south Bangalore. The new National Air Quality Index gives current as well as 24-hour average data on particulate matter – PM2.5 or very fine particles smaller than 2.5 micrometres in diameter, and PM 10 which are less than 10 micrometers in diameter – as well as other pollutants including nitrogen dioxide, ozone and carbon monoxide. PM 2.5 levels are commonly used as the best indicator of severe air pollution, while PM 10 particles are also a cause of public health concern, but less lethal. India now grades air quality along a colour-coded chart based on pollutant levels.




Using data from the new Index, as well as data from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and state pollution control boards, The Hindu found that Bangalore’s BTM Layout area has had only one “moderate” air quality day in the last ten days, while all the rest were “poor” or “very poor”. Other parts of the city did far better.Delhi, the focus of global attention for its consistently poor air quality, on the other hand, had “moderate” air quality over the first week of April for the three monitoring stations for which PM 2.5 was available - Dilshad Gardens, Dwarka and Shadipur. Dwarka was the only location with more “poor” or “very poor” days than “good” or “satisfactory” ones.

So, if you need good health, then it is better to have an air purifier in India.

Most people who reviewed it, gave it full kudos and were very happy with the product.

Excellent purifier. Has a good range and good sensor for air quality..Definitely worth the price for a good healthy air if you are living in a polluted area.Removes dust,microbes, & few gases from air.

One person noted that the machine takes up all the moisture from the air due to the activated carbon, which may be uncomfortable in dry areas like Delhi.

Overall, a good buy for the health conscious in India's polluted cities. Buy a Philips 30-Watt Air Purifier if you need one.
