This is what we can see that prefilter catches. Pm 2.5 we cant even see easily. So if PM 10 is low and PM2.5 is high then air might look ok but is still bad.
My asthma and allergy symptoms are much better after using AP + regular Vaccum cleaning + regularly wash bed stuff and curtains.
But there is still exposure when i get out and also in air pockets around windows where air is leaking in.
Every city i have been outside India (Canada/US/Israel) has had very clean air and i never had any respiratory issues at all. In India its reverse ..
Also Indian houses don't have hvac type stuff generally, perhaps because temperatures are moderate ( but it can be so cold in winter in north).
Pune.
Xiaomi 4 lite.
Kitchen.
Very true. There's no visual cue for PM2.5 pollution. It perhaps gives a uniform bluish tint (from the sky) to very distant dark shadows on a nice sunny day.
Pune, on most days, has higher PM10 pollution than PM2.5. And, that's what we see on the prefilter.

Bought this in Amazon during July 2023. Mainly got it for it's ability to remove the pungent burning smoke smell and other bad odours. I felt that it cleaned the air effectively for 100 square feet in a closed room. I replaced the filter once after 4300hrs as the filter replacement light lit up. The cost of the filter is Rs.1200/-.
Highly recommend this one: Philips AC4221 Smart Air Purifier https://amzn.in/d/2tmQ2PB
