💨 Abstract

The Indian government has announced plans to conduct market surveillance on air purifier manufacturers due to concerns about false claims and rising pollution levels in major cities. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) will examine compliance with quality control orders on air filters. Union Food and Consumer Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi expressed concern over misleading marketing tactics, advocating for increased consumer awareness and a collaborative approach involving the BIS, consumer affairs ministry, and consumers.
