Hi Admin,

Very helpful post. Plants are the best source to supply oxygen and cleanse the air as well. Let's call it a natural air purifier. Air Pollution is rising now through many reasons - construction, industries, fire in garbage dumping grounds, leftover crop burning and the top of the list is smoke emitting from vehicles. We have already witnessed in the past 2 years in Delhi and Deora, Maharashtra what air pollution has done to its nearby residents.

Many believe keeping the windows closed will let lesser dust and pollution enter their homes. But this leads to slow and easy development of bacteria and fungi in the corners of our homes.

The best way we can control home pollution is through effective HEPA air purifiers. These do not have ordinary filter mesh like the ones used in air conditioners. But they have 5 purification filters that effectively and efficiently purify the air.
