If history has shown us anything it’s that humans have always taken things for granted till the very last minute. It’s not until we have nearly ran out of fossil fuels that we started to makes strides in the electric vehicle sector. Similarly, the next very valuable entity that we are taking is the air we breathe. Of course we can never run out of air but we can always run out of pure air. Every day the amount of pollutants that are being emitted into our air is ever increasing and with the number of vehicles that are hitting the street is also at an increase, the pollution curve is not going to slope down anytime soon. The AQI reading of our beloved district has reached 104. For those who are not familiar with the term AQI, it stands for Air Quality Index which is a scale of how polluted the air of a particular place is; the higher the number, the higher the pollution content and right now Thiruvananthapuram has a higher reading than some metropolitan cities including Bangalore and Chennai.
The ideal solution for this rising problem is that the sale of portable oxygen concentrators. These portable oxygen purifiers are handy and extremely useful, not to mention lifesaving in the long run. They help filter out the pollutants and ensure we breathe fresh air. Therefore the next time you see a sign that says ‘oxygen concentrators for rent’ in Trivandrum, do step in; it might just save your life.
