New Delhi: While air masks and air purifiers are selling like hotcakes in the national capital owing to the killer smog that has settled in Delhi, President Ram Nath Kovind does not trust any of them.

As Delhi prepares for odd-even scheme, IGL stickers to be available for CNG vehicles from today

His preferred weapon to combat Delhi’s pollution seems to be an air filtration system called NasoFilter which has been developed by the students of IIT-Delhi.

The NasoFilter, unlike ordinary pollution masks, is easy to use and does not pose as a hindrance to speaking.

President Kovind mentioned the product in his speech at the academic institution’s convocation ceremony as an example of innovation by students.

The product NasoFilter is made of a porous membrane. It can be stuck inside your nose and can clear PM 2.5 from the air that one breathes, reports TOI.

The filter is made up of a biodegradable polymer using nanotechnology and can be easily peeled off. It does not affect breathing or other activities.

The filter does not cover one’s face, cause any difficulty in speaking or cause the fogging of glasses.
