Why Is Gifing A Dyson Air Purifier The Best Gift For Your Family

India ranks 3rd in the list of countries with Worst Air Quality in 2020 just below Bangladesh and Pakistan. 21 out of 30 most populated cities in our country is heavily polluted with Particulate Matter Concentration 5 times more than what is recommended by WHO. And it keeps getting worse.

This situation translates to serious health issues to people who are exposed to this. It can lead to serious respiratory problems, death ranged strokes, diabetes, lung cancer and myocardial infractions. In fact the State of Global Air 2020 stated that Air Pollution is the largest risk factor of death than other forms of pollution.

For some of us this may come across as surprise, but our houses are no safer than outdoors in this situation. The sprays, perfumes, cooking gas, pet danders, varnish, etc., that we use, contaminate the air that we breathe indoor.

An Air Purifier? Do we really need one? Isn’t this the first question that comes to our mind when we think about an air purifier? When it is the best to go for natural ways – like planting more trees, switching on to herbal oils for indoor air purification, or even opting for indoor garden plants which are known to be excellent air cleansers and toxin-removers. Which one to opt for? India is known to be the Home to Natural Medicine and it’s people are always in constant touch with Mother Nature. So now the question arises? On which side should we bend? Indoor Plants or Air purifiers?

Indoor Plants or Air purifiers?

While both serve the same purpose, undoubtedly, there are strong points of contention in favour of Air Purifiers. To put it simply, Air Purifiers outnumber the pros vs Indoor plants for 3 main reasons.

• Air purifiers remove the largest variety of contaminants from the air- dust, allergens, bacteria, mold, pet dander, smoke that is not visible to our eyes.
• Smaller home spaces.
• The maintenance cost and effort is much lesser when it comes to mechanical air purification.
• Homes that contain lot of dust, pet dander need larger and stronger purification techniques.

How does an Air Purifier work?

Air purifiers contain one or more filters and a fan. The fan (or sometimes a system of internal fans) sucks in air, and that air then passes through the inside filters. These filters trap pollutants such as dust, pollen, and bacteria, and disperse clean air back into the room. This results in fresh and non-toxic air.

There are various brands which have ventured into this business of Air purification. One of the leading brands is Dyson. Dyson Limited is a UK based company and is in the business of manufacturing household appliances since 1991.

Dyson - Highest Global Standard Of Purification

What the Dyson POLAR test counters is the CADR test that has been around since the 1980s. This is done in a small 12 sq. meter room, and the purifier is kept in the middle of the room. There is one air quality sensor in the room to detect the change in pollution levels. Interestingly, this test is also done with a ceiling fan helping the spread of clean air around the room. The challenge however is that this isn’t exactly representative of the real-world environment—we do not keep purifiers in the middle of the room, is it? After this test, purifiers are given a rating. But the point is, an air purifier with a high CADR rating is not a true indicator of whether it may be cleaning air and removing even the smallest particles from the indoor air.

The very foundation of the POLAR test is a lab, which is essentially a room, that is 27 square meter (around 290 sq. ft) in size. There is no added ceiling fan in the room. That is sound logic, since the peak pollution season in India is winter and we don’t use fans at that time of the year. As part of this test, the air purifier in question is placed in one corner of the room, pretty much how you would probably keep it in your living room or bedroom. The pollutants are then added into the room from the other corner, which is perhaps the toughest test of strength for an air purifier. There are nine air quality sensors places in all corners of the room including one sensor in the center, to understand the exact air quality in the different parts of the room at all times. These sensors can detect particles as much 300 times smaller than a strand of human hair.

Another important element of this test is the auto mode—all purifiers are tested at the automatic settings, first with the assumption that the user wouldn’t want to interfere and secondly to check as to how good the automatic air quality detection of the purifier itself is.

We hope this blog wipes off all the doubts you ever had with regard to an Air Purifier. It is an investment worth the cost. And with Dyson products you can never go wrong. It is not only us but also their happy bunch of customers who have to say the same.
