siliconindia | | May 20184A recent report by WHO claimed that nine out of 10 people in the world breathe air containing high levels of pollutants. This pollution is not just confined to outdoor air pollution but also household air pollution, and the Southeast Asia region (which comprises India) is at a higher risk. The region accounts for 34 percent of 2.4 million of the seven million premature deaths caused by household and outdoor air pollution together globally every year. And of the 3.8 million deaths caused by household air pollution globally, this region accounts for 1.5 percent (nearly 40 percent) deaths, and 1.3 million (30 percent of the 4.2 million global deaths) deaths due to outdoor pollution.This is quite a wakeup call for underdeveloped and developing nations like India to reconsider the way we treat our Mother Earth. Accounting for millions of deaths globally, indoor air pollution is a major rising global concern that needs immediate attention. While many of us feel that being at home makes us less prone to air pollution, we should look at the number of deaths due to indoor air pollution. While pollutants from things such as gases and particles contaminate the air indoors, sometimes energy efficiency improvements make houses relatively airtight, reducing ventilation and raising pollutant levels. Being subtle, indoor air pollution does not always produce easily recognized impacts on health. Hence, the Indian purifier market (including both indoor and outdoor) is growing at a considerable rate. 6Wresearch claims that the market will grow at a CAGR of 30 percent during 2017-2023 and HEPA & Carbon filter air purifiers will capture the key share of the market. But being relatively a new field for people to research and gain knowledge on, they many a times settle with air purifiers which may not be complying with the required requisites. Hence, siliconindia brings to you `20 Most Promising Air Purifier Companies - 2018'. This comprehensive list comprises of eminent names from the industry who have championed the art of creating industry standard compliant air purifiers and provide tailor-made solutions and services as well.
