In Indian cities, increased automotive emissions, construction, and industrial activities are producing significant air pollution. In many places, the Air Quality Index (AQI) index rises above 300 for several days of the year, posing a major health risk to humans. Fine-particle exposure Particulate matter PM2.5 particles with diameters less than 2.5µM are causing severe respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses, resulting in premature deaths. Both outdoor and indoor pollution levels have a negative influence on low-income and impoverished households. While pricey and high-cost alternatives are available, they are out of reach for the majority of households. This study presents a low-cost Air Purifier Design for families. To decrease the health hazards associated with increasing indoor pollution levels, this unit can be quickly constructed and assembled by semi-skilled technicians using locally accessible materials. The prototype's detailed design and experimental results are presented.
