In Nuevo León, air pollution in Monterrey and surrounding areas has become a worrying problem. Experts attribute this increase in pollution to activity at the Cadereyta Refinery, resulting in concerning levels of PM2.5 particles, which are extremely harmful and have reached a five-year high, according to the Citizen Observatory of Air Quality. Mariana Rodríguez, who ran for mayor of Monterrey, has recommended the use of air purifiers given the environmental crisis affecting the region.
In the midst of this situation, citizens are seeking alternatives to protect their health. Air purifiers present themselves as a solution, with prices ranging from 800 pesos for small models to 50,000 pesos for larger units. Specifically, Mariana Rodríguez suggests the Dyson Big+Quiet, an air purifier that has stood out on her social media. This device is capable of capturing invisible particles, such as viruses and allergens, to improve indoor air quality.
According to Rodríguez's recommendations, the Dyson Big+Quiet is a good investment, as it significantly contributes to maintaining a clean and healthy environment at home. Despite this, she has received criticism for promoting a high-cost product at a time when the environmental situation in Nuevo León is critical. The price of the purifier on the official Dyson website is 25,299 pesos and includes a silent motor and filters that must be replaced regularly for optimal performance.
It is important to note that air pollution affects not only Monterrey but also surrounding municipalities such as Escobedo, San Nicolás, Cadereyta, and Juárez. Air quality in these areas has been compromised, leading to an increase in demand for air purifiers to protect the health of residents. Despite the criticisms, Mariana Rodríguez's recommendation has highlighted the importance of taking action to combat air pollution and its effects on the health of the population.
