However, he only realised the severity of Delhi’s condition after opening his air purifier to check its filter. As per the man, the purifier’s filter got completely clogged after just two weeks of use. A video of the man showing the ‘before and after’ translation of the purifier was shared online, which went viral and left netizens reacting in all kinds of ways.Most people suggested that the man change the air purifier’s filter on a daily basis, while some claimed that the man did not properly remove the filter’s cover, leading to clogging. A few also claimed that the ‘dust’ collected looked more like ‘construction dust’ and less like ‘PM2.5 pollutants’.Times Now could not confirm the details and the authenticity of the post.Delhi is currently choking, quite literally. As per SAFAR- Delhi, the AQI for today, Thursday, November 13, stood at 402 at 12:45 PM.
