NEW DELHI: Amidst rising level of air pollution in the national capital, air conditioning major Blue Star on Wednesday announced the launch of a room air conditioner (AC) with an in-built air purifier.

Besides powerful cooling during summers, the inverter AC with in-built air purifier also simultaneously purifies indoor air. It has the capability to function as a standalone air purifier during winters, it said.
