Staying indoors is not the solution as smog affects both indoor and outdoor air. Considering the increasing pollution, we at KENT provide the best air purifiers in India that remove indoor air pollutants. In addition to using the room air purifier, you can also use technology to stay safe from the harmful effects of air pollution. So, in this blog, we discuss 5 effective ways you can use technology to fight choking air pollution.

Install Apps to Check Air Quality

Checking the air quality when stepping out can be of great help. Considering the increasing level of air pollution, a number of apps have been developed to keep a track of the air quality index. Air Quality: Real-time AQI, Plume Air Report, Air Quality India, Air Alert, and Oizom are some of the common apps available on the Google Play Store.

Bring Home Air Purifiers

Indoor air is 5 times more polluted and is the second-largest killer as it leads to 1.3 million deaths every year.

KENT provides a wide range of best room air purifiers that remove indoor air pollutants. The low-noise air purifiers catch and trap 99% of the indoor air pollutants using three different mechanisms- Impact, Interception, and Diffusion.

KENT provides top-quality car air purifiers which use HEPA technology to effectively remove hazardous pollutants from your car cabin.

Air purifying bulb is an ionizer that emits negatively charged ions that attach to the pollutants present in the air. The negatively charged particles settle down on the floor like dust. Ideal for small areas, the air-purifying bulbs remove dust, and smoke from cigarettes, cooking materials, and incense sticks.

Get a Humidifier

Humidifiers not only regulate the temperature during winter but also maintain humidity levels. When the indoor humidity level is low, the negative impact of indoor air pollutants increases drastically. Humidifiers maintain the humidity so that your nasal passages get the right level of moisture and get rid of allergens.
