| Summary: | Abstract The impact of airborne pollutants present in the environment, entering the body through breathing, can cause significant risks of respiratory and heart-related health problems for individuals. For this, different air purifiers are commonly used to eliminate delicate particulate matter PM2.5, and various studies have examined their effectiveness. This paper aims to analyze airborne pollutants and, by considering them, assess the performance of air purifiers in reducing the concentration of air pollutants in the environment. The aggregation operator (AO) plays a significant role in aggregating the multiple criteria and gives us a result in a singleton set, which assists us in decision-making (DM). So, considering this, the Heronian mean (HM) operator and its special cases such as averaging and geometric operators have been used in this paper. Moreover, circular intuitionistic fuzzy (C-IF) theory is more efficient and comprehensive than the intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS), as the standard IFS cannot cope with the problems within a circular environment. So, the HM operator under the C-IF environment, such as circular intuitionistic fuzzy Heronian mean (C-IFHM) and it’s averaging and geometric operator, has been presented. Further, some prevalent and crucial properties and theorems have been defined. Then, an algorithm was developed to solve a multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) problem by using the proposed operators within the circular environment. To validate the effectiveness and priority, this paper presents a numerical example of MCDM, and a comparison analysis was conducted to verify the practicality of the proposed approach. |
