The air quality index (AQI) is set to climb a few notches, especially in Delhi NCR, where rising vehicular pollution and post-Diwali pollution levels make things worse every year. Even though we might not have much control over pollution outside, we can at least take action to improve the quality of the air inside our homes, especially in the living room, as we spend the majority of our time with our family there. A good air purifier can greatly improve the air quality around you, and if you're looking to get one for your large living space, then here are the top five air purifiers for your living room.
