At present, due to poisonous air in Delhi-NCR, many people have been forced to install air purifiers in their homes to reduce the air quality (AQI). Although air purifiers help improve air quality, there are many misconceptions about their frequent use, including the belief that they lower children’s immunity. A newborn baby expert explains whether air purifiers are harmful and debunks the myths surrounding their use. Using an air purifier will not weaken your child’s immunity.
Are air purifiers bad for your child?
Health experts said that when people buy an air purifier, many questions come to their mind, such as – because it can be used only in one room. When the child goes to other rooms, there will still be air pollution inside the house. So, shouldn’t the children living in Delhi-NCR also develop this habit? Parents often ask, “How to do this if we use an air purifier?”
Health experts said that there is no relation between air pollution particles and immunity. He said, “A person who smokes 20 cigarettes a day has no more immunity and tolerance than a person who smokes 5 cigarettes. Therefore, if possible, run the purifier for at least 8 to 10 hours at night so that the child’s lungs can recover.”
What to do if you don’t have an air purifier
If you do not have an air purifier in your house, then you must plant plants that keep the air clean in your house. You can plant plants like aloe vera, snack plant, money plant, bamboo at your home.

– Reduce the use of smoke, incense sticks and dark colors in the house. Because it will make the air worse.
– Clean the fan and filter to keep the humidity balanced. Avoid mold.
