Why air purifiers are the need of the hour

The deteriorating air quality in our country is there for all to see. Dealing with impure air is a battle that each one of us goes through day in and day out. Various cities including the national capital are suffering from the after-effects of increased air pollution and subsequent diseases of the lungs, nose, skin, etc. Breathing in contaminated air can make us more prone to various acute and chronic respiratory illnesses like bronchitis, asthma and various allergies. Air purifier as a concept may have been a novelty few years back, but in today’s times it has become an absolute necessity.

The deteriorating air quality is leaving us breathless, however, the quality of air indoors is no different. Many schools were recently closed down in the capital due to the alarming air quality. Such steps become the need of the hour, because kids are most vulnerable to air pollution.They spend a lot of time indoors playing or studying. The air outside combines with the indoor air, hence making it difficult for kids and elderly people to breathe clean air. This makes a case for investing in a roomair purifier. When an appliance like an air purifier is installed in a room, it removes contaminants from the air, making it cleaner. 

Prior to purchasing one for your home, consider the room size, the type of filter in the device, the Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR), and the air changes per hour. Air purifiers can be categorized on the basis of their coverage area. Some can cover an area of 450 sq. ft. while some can cover a 300 sq. ft. room. Depending on this factor, the air purifier price differs. 

Also, you can determine the different price brackets basis the CADR. Livpure is one such brand having a wide product range. You can browse through and make the right choice as per your needs and budget. You can buy one for your home and another for your car as well!

How to keep kids safe from mosquitoes

Picture this:

Under the open sky, your kids are playing in the park with wild abandon, while you open the picnic basket with packed goodies for you and your family. As the sun sets, there's a smile on your face as you sit on the grass sipping juice and watching your children be happy.

Frankly, a mother like me would actually 'freak out' at the prospect of letting kids go free and wild in the open air surroundings. The probability of getting bit by mosquitoes is too high and is not one that is cherished. Not just kids, adults too are prone to mosquito bites that can increase the chances of diseases like malaria, dengue and chikungunya. And if you would have thought that wearing full-sleeved tops and bottoms is fine to avoid getting bitten, guess again! Not just in playgrounds and gardens, we need to protect ourselves and our family in indoor places too.

As parents, most of our focus lies around our kids, with them being the centre of our universe. However, they cannot be figuratively tied to a leash, kept indoors all day and be disallowed from exploring their surroundings. In fact, the more the kids explore and figure out things by themselves, the faster they learn.

So how do we solve this conundrum?

As it is rightfully said, prevention is better than cure. It is perhaps best to prevent mosquitoes from biting you and your kids. There are some ways and means to protect yourself and your kids from mosquito bites:

Clear out stagnant water
Stagnant water is said to be a breeding ground for mosquitoes. These insects are known to lay their eggs in the water which breed rampantly and infest your home. You out to check the flower pots, the roofs, the verandah and your bathroom for sitting water that may act as breeding pools. This must be done time and again, especially in the rainy season.

Placing herbal plants
It is believed that plants and trees like Tulsi (holy basil), Neem and Lavender are helpful in killing mosquito larvae. Once the larvae are under control, it can help in curbing and controlling the population of mosquitoes.

Using repellents
One of the ways is using a safe mosquito repellent. The idea of a repellent is to repel the mosquitoes by preventing them from landing or coming close. Although there are multiple brands in the market, the renowned brand, Good knight has designed repellents in the form of non-sticky gels, patches and fabric roll-ons that are 100% natural and provide up to 8 hours of protection from mosquitoes.

By using the ways that are in the best interest of you as well as your family, say goodbye to your fears of getting bitten!
