摘要

Background: Households in urban Delhi experience elevated level of ambient and indoor air pollution. Indoor air filtration is recommended as a measure to improve indoor air quality, yet few studies have examined the effectiveness of air filtration devices in urban settings in low- and middle-income countries. This study aims to quantify the impact of household air purifier on indoor air quality and its health implications. Methods: We used CONTAM 3.2 (National Institute of Standard Technology) to simulate the indoor personal PM2.5 exposure of the primary cook over 12 months in a typical one-bedroom apartment in urban Delhi. We conducted a factorial design to model PM2.5 exposure as a function of air filter type (low, medium efficiency and HEPA filter), use schedule (8 hour, 15 hour and all day) and presence of another smoker. Based on the simulated exposure reduction, we employed the Household Air Pollution Intervention Tool (HAPIT) to estimate the corresponding health benefits on major conditions. All model inputs were extracted from governmental/scientific literature. Results: The modeled annual personal PM2.5 exposure without air purifier was 111 μg/m3 and 145 μg/m3 for households without and with a smoker, respectively. The highest exposure reduction occurred in scenarios with all-day use of air purifier equipped with HEPA filter. The annual personal PM2.5 level was reduced to 33 and 34 μg/m3 for households without and with a smoker. These PM2.5 reductions represent 48 and 43 deaths averted per 100,000 population per year. Simulated annual personal exposures to PM2.5 from 8-hour and 15-hour use of air purifier all exceeded the WHO interim guideline at 35 μg/m3, mainly due to the infiltration of ambient air pollution. Conclusions: Our simulation shows that consistent use of household air purifier can reduce indoor air pollution in a city like Delhi. The reduced personal indoor air pollution exposure from air filtration can result in significant health benefits.
