Panasonic Launches 7 New Air Purifiers in India, Starting Rs. 11,995

In a bid to address rising air pollution, Panasonic India on Friday launched seven new air purifier models for consumers to combat poisonous particles present indoors.

Equipped with "Nanoe" technology, the new range enhances the quality of indoor air by filtering out harmful particles, including PM2.5. The company adds that its air purifiers remove odour, and help keep the skin hydrated. Panasonic is also touting Econavi technology that monitors user behaviour to reduce unnecessary operations by the air purifier.

PM2.5 is tiny particulate matter that tends to penetrate into the gas exchange regions of the lung and may lead to respiratory and cardio-vascular problems.

"Quality of indoor air is all about health and comfort. Therefore, it is important that we breathe healthy air when we are inside our homes and offices. With lack of ventilation in today's houses, it is all the more important to monitor the air quality and take actions for indoor air cleaning. Ahead of the winter season when smog in the cities will be at its peak, we have introduced 7 models of air-purifiers. At Panasonic, it is our continuous endeavour to enhance the quality of life of our consumers as it is core to our principle values.

Equipped with Nanoe technology, HEPA/Composite Air Filter and Econavi technology, Panasonic air-purifiers make sure to filter out harmful particles, including PM2.5, out of the air and provide a healthy and safe environment to breathe in," said Syed Moonis Ali Alvi, General Manager, Purifier Business, Panasonic India, in a statement.
