What happens to the body if air purifiers are overused at home?
Suleiman Ladhani, a consultant pulmonologist at Wockhardt Hospitals, Mumbai Central, said that while air purifiers don't remove moisture directly, "running them continuously on high settings in a closed room reduces indoor humidity". "Low humidity can irritate the nose, throat, and airway lining. This may lead to dryness, scratchiness, coughing, and burning eyes," Ladhani stated.
