Bengaluru: in a city with more than 6 new lakh cars a year, can some outdoor air purifiers really protect our lungs from pollution?
A collective dedicated to improving urban air quality has recently decided bbmp to spend Rs 5 on a pile of purifiers, calling devices with no measurable impact a glorified vacuum cleaner.
They breathe in the air, along with the air, and they also breathe in pollutants.
They can work in closed spaces like rooms or halls, but they don\'t work outdoors.
Yogesh Ranganath says it\'s like using air conditioning in open spaces, and he leads the collective clean air platform (CAP).
We need 105 air purifiers in order to really clean up all the city\'s dust, which will cost us RS 11,677.
BBMP announced in its recent budget the proposal to install a purifier to address air pollution.
Last month, the mayor gan ganick mallikar Army unveiled the first equipment on Hudson\'s ring Island.
Civil institutions should look for real solutions, CAP said.
Ensure better public transport and motivate sharing of taxis and cars
It added that pooling, and making the sidewalks safe and non-invasive for pedestrians and cyclists, such steps help reduce the number of vehicles on the road and address air pollution.
Despite multiple attempts, Mallikarjun could not be reached for comment.
