Public sentiment is overwhelmingly frustrated and critical of the Supreme Court's response to pollution in Delhi. Many feel that blaming farmers while ignoring industrial pollution and government inaction is unjust. The demand for stringent regulations on all pollution sources, including factories and vehicles, is significant, with users expressing serious concerns for public health and calling for accountability from leaders.

I’m not sure about the CADR value. The fans are rated 72.6 cfm so 72.6 x 5 =363. Based on the pressure drop (I don’t have anything to calculate this) the CADR should come somewhere between 180-290 (20-50% flow drop)

better for daily use then hepa filters are epa filters since they filter far more volume of air in the same time, they do have a bit less purity but the cadr far outruns that benefit. in other words the epa might filter your room twice with 99,5% instead of 99,95% but that’s much more valuable for the user. also they tend to be cheaper, jus as an add on for other people reading here

The CADR will depend on several variable , like plenum (space between filter and the fans), fan model (static pressure), filter model and surface area of the filter. hard to say a CADR because we don't have theses info, except for the fan (P14?F14?). That said, your diy could be compared to the Tempest Euro, wich i've tested it. With 4 Arctic F14 fan, the PM 1 CADR is 75,6 cfm and the PM 2,5 CADR  is 85,4 cfm.   But it is Starvind filter, wich is one of the best filter on the market, it could be much different with another filter.

Where did you bought your filters from? A link will be very helpful.

Hi,
Could you link the products you've used in this?

Dude this shit is happening to me as well. I hate this

Mucous is a small factor. PM 1, 2.5, 10 lodge themselves in the organs and cause cancer and organ dysfunction. Nothing as compared to a permanent flu. That's just the surface level. 

I moved out a year ago to south India. The AQI here isn't great, but definitely much better than north Indian plains. 

While I had to live in Delhi I used 6 air purifiers in my 2BHK house which kept the AQI below 50 even in November. I had an AQI monitor to test the AQI and also test the purifiers. Plus door seals that covered air leakages, and regular ventilation to keep CO2 levels under control. Plus another air purifier for my car and a bank of N 95 maskes with valves, the best one I could find for a leak proof seal for my face structure. 

Mullein tea is supposed to help with damage from years of chain smoking. I used it on and off over a couple of years to help with having to live in Delhi. Ayurveda has similar teas, just do a search.

You can't do anything except move out, if you can. I'm suffering from pollution related coughing since the past few years and it gets worse each time.

crsipywaterr

as a person with very severe lung issues and sinus from childhood I must say this year has been the worst. my eyes and throat are burning, my nose is always irritated and let's not even start with breathing difficulty every time I go outside. 

few things that help me are taking steam on alternate days, vicks on back while sleeping , drinking ginger soup at night and any vegetable juice in morning which helps build immunity and not make you breathless. it won't be effective in just one day you hv to try for atleast 1 and half week to see changes. and for chest pain you can also try warm compress but if it's really bad do see a doctor. 

And the other general precautions like closed windows and mask.

now that you say that, I realize i have been suffering from these symptoms from atleast 4-5 months too

Have you all started seeing more cases of cancer in your family/friends circle too?

mauveisntpoiple

Bro I am having difficulty breathing and chest heaviness, it feels like I am going to have a heart attack. 
And the sad part is that I can't move out for the next three four years. My eyes are burning plus headaches.

Chronic bronchitis too, and it has become disturbingly common now. I still remember taking a walk on Diwali night; it genuinely felt as if I had stepped into a furnace. That’s how severe the situation was.

Just switch on your phone’s flash at a slant and you’ll see the level of pollutants swirling visibly in the beam. It is scary.

This may be 20% of the Problem the other 80% just Greed, Vehicular Pollution, Industries with no emission control at all. Parali Burning from Haryana and Punjab lekin industries pay lots of money to party fund to
Unko bhi koi kuchh nahi bolta, Vehicular Pollution is very tough to solve in short term, and Parali ka koi widespread Solution chahie.

Someone's finally thinking with logic and reason instead of from a political or religious angle.

I think they are trying to count to 10000 with aqi. 

So unfortunate!

Prestigious-Print461

Serious question, which I could probably Google, but I'm here so.. are there any days of the year the air there is in a healthy range?

How can we know this is Delhi when you crossed out the city name...?

The Supreme Court of India has opted against imposing a year-long construction ban to combat severe air pollution in the Delhi-NCR region, emphasizing the need for long-term solutions that do not adversely affect livelihoods. The Court criticized 'knee-jerk' responses and called for a collaborative approach involving multiple stakeholders.
