siliconindia | | MAY 20194It has become a common site across major cities to spot people with pollution mask even inside their home due to the increasing pollution leading to respiratory issues. The worrying fact is that despite Global Commission on Pollution and Health in its 2017 report identified pollution as the leading cause of death and disability in the world, and EIPC claiming that emissions of airborne particulate matter pose the single biggest threat to human health globally (reducing average life expectancy by 1.8 years per person worldwide), there is not much that the world has done to counter the issue. WHO further estimated that 4.2 million premature deaths globally are linked to ambient air pollution, while IHME claimed that around 2.6 million people died prematurely in 2016 from illness attributable to household air pollution. So what treasure trove are we passing-on to our next generation? A bag full of health issues to deal with and live their lives with pollution mask covered? It is time we act and save the planet before it's too late for our future generations to even point-out our fault, leave aside their right to lead a healthy and happy life. With India's nine cities among world's 10 most polluted cities, the predicament seems even worse. However, when the Indian government unveiled a five-year plan that aims to increase and improve air pollution monitoring systems across India, our hope got a lease of life. Though several steps will be undertaken in due course of time, the quick respite from air pollution is the indoor and outdoor air purifiers. The residential air purifiers market is expected to reach $39 million by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 29 percent, which accounted for a revenue share of around 22 percent in the overall India air purifiers market in 2017.
