10 Most Affordable Cars With An Air Purifier

Air pollution is a big problem in India with many contributing factors. This harmful air, when inhaled, can cause serious damage to one’s health and well being. Also, as the festive season is here, the levels of air pollution will see a spike resulting in much worse conditions. For example, the AQI (air quality index) was in the high 400s for Delhi in early November 2023 (a score of 50 or lower indicates a good quality of air).
