Post Diwali ‘Monday Blues’ and Post Diwali air pollution are two things individuals can’t get rid of. While post-festive season blues are something that you will need to work on yourself, the issue of air pollution can be tackled with an air purifier to reduce the damage of PM 2.5 and PM 10 particles on the lungs. Since AQI, or the Air Quality Index, has skyrocketed post Diwali, reaching around 800 in many parts of the country, especially in North Indian cities like Delhi NCR, you need to invest in an air purifier.
Due to worsening weather conditions, the AQI will continue to drop rapidly for the next few days, and dust, PM2.5, and allergens may increase indoors. In such a situation, a good air purifier is now a much-needed necessity. However, don’t sweat seeing the examining air purifiers on Amazon up close.Â
