Recently US embassies in Beijing, China, and Delhi, India have purchased thousands of Blueair air purifiers to protect staff in offices and homes against indoor air pollutants.

In the lead up to its official launch, Bluair has already managed to stir up excitement around India with the launch two weeks ago of its Clean Air India Movement (CLAIM) campaign. A core element of the maiden campaign has been a nationwide study by Blueair under the auspices of the HEAL Foundation that revealed 27 percent of Mumbai’s school-going kids suffer poor lung health as a result of air pollution, for example..

“The CLAIM campaign reflects the belief of Blueair’s founder, Mr. Bengt Rittri, that clean air is a basic human right, which is a core value entrenched in everything Blueair does as a company,” said. Mr. Kannan. “We believe that in the near future, indoor air cleaners will become as common as vacuum cleaners are today due to consumer concerns about the air they are breathing
