Abstract
The increase in urbanization and industrialization has led to an increase in air pollution
which has resulted in a reasonable percentage of mortality rate in the world. A humidifier is
a device that adds moisture to the air and filters it to make it clean and safe for use. This
device will always make the air within the enclosure clean and safe for inhaling and at the
same time makes the environment healthy. The installation of solar Photovoltaic (PV) based
or rechargeable humidifiers will make the environment healthier as the devices will always
be at work steadily to prevent some of the airborne diseases. The inclusion of solar and
rechargeable air purifiers and humidifiers in our respective environments will reduce the
indoor pollution impacts such as allergies, asthma, Sinus and Congestion and improves the
healthiness of the user.
