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