Pollution is in the air and wearing masks, especially N95, is a common protective measure to filter harmful pollutants, prevent respiratory problems, and reduce exposure to allergens and irritants. If you want to stand out in the crowd, you can wear the Atovio Pebble. This is a sleek, wearable air purifier that promises to eliminate 90% of pollutants in your breathing space within minutes. This includes harmful air pollutants like PM2.5, dust, smoke, and allergens.
A creation by alumni of IIT Kanpur and IIM Indore, Pebble was rigorously tested at the National Aerosol Facility (NAF) at IIT Kanpur. The gadget looks unique and it uses advanced anion technology. Once activated, it releases thousands of anions to neutralise harmful pollutants and toxins.
The device is effective in an area of upto 35 cubic feet, making it ideal for personal use during commutes, work, or travel. It has two modes – normal and turbo (recommended when AQI is in excess of 200). A three-hour charge will give you upto 48 hours use.
Pebble is available in attractive colours like Moonlight Black, Blush Pink, Sky Blue, and Cloud White. It comes with a rechargeable battery, a neck lanyard, and a USB-A to USB-C cable. Its easy maintenance means no costly filter replacements. You can even pair it with premium straps and metal chains to make it feel more personal. A stylish and tech-forward tool, worth a try.
Estimated street price: Rs 3,499
