Parents at a school in Delhi-NCR are considering pooling money to buy classroom air purifiers for nursery pupils ahead of the smog season, according to an account shared on social media. The purchase has not been confirmed.

Key Takeaways

  • The parents questioned whether the school’s existing air-filtration arrangements were sufficient, the post said.
  • Purifiers used in first-grade classrooms last year reportedly moved with pupils to second grade.

Why classroom air purifiers are being considered

Delhi-based professional Anirudh Arun said in an X post that parents had discussed buying devices from brands including Dyson, Honeywell and Sharp. His account did not establish that the parents had decided to make a purchase.

Arun said parents asked why the school was not buying the purifiers itself. The school reportedly told them its air-conditioning systems had HEPA filters that could address dust to some extent, but the explanation did not satisfy them.

Questions about earlier devices

Parents also asked about purifiers installed in classrooms the previous year. According to Arun’s account, the school said those devices moved with pupils as they advanced to the next grade.

That arrangement left parents of younger children considering new units for nursery classrooms. The account has prompted discussion about whether families or schools should pay for additional protection from air pollution.
