Dr Randeep Guleria, former AIIMS director, stated that air purifiers have not been conclusively proven to protect against Delhi's toxic air. He highlighted that children exposed to pollution suffer stunted lung growth, which can improve if air quality gets better. Guleria advised wearing well-fitted N-95 masks on bad air quality days but expressed skepticism about air purifiers' effectiveness, noting their limited performance in open or large rooms. He called air pollution a silent killer as it often goes unrecorded as a cause of death.
