Apart from air purifiers placed at your homes and offices, car air purifiers are also becoming popular. If you own a car and live in a metro city, there are high chances that you spend a lot of time on the road travelling. Being on the road means exposure to a lot of pollutants from car emissions, smoke from industries and general dust. These pollutants can lead to various respiratory diseases and also make it worse for people with respiratory disorders. Although your car’s air-conditioning system might be able to filter out the larger particulate matter, it fails to restrict the tinier ones. If you travel a lot that involves family members who are sensitive and allergic to pollutants including dust, smoke, pollen, etc., it would be better to opt for a car air purifier. Here’s a list if you're looking for an air purifier for your car in India.
The Honeywell Move 2 Pure comes equipped with a HEPA filter that removes PM2.5 particles including dust and harmful pollutants. This can also be verified thanks to the built in PM2.5 sensor that tells you th current level of pollutants in the car. It also includes an activated carbon filter capable of removing volatile organic compounds, formaldehyde, cigarette smoke, bacteria, virus, etc. The Honeywell Move 2 Pure is not battery operated and draws operational power from the 12V port that is available in most cars anyway. Honeywell has provided a very long cable with the Move 2 Pure so that it can be placed anywhere, be it on the dashboard, the center armrest or the back of the car. Additionally, the Move 2 Pure also notifies the user when its time to replace the filters.
