What does a HEPA filter do?
Family members with allergies, asthma and other respiratory conditions face health risks when air in the home contains tiny organisms and other particulates. A HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter, often used as part of an air filtration system, removes these harmful pollutants to provide a healthy atmosphere that is 99.7% free of particles .3 microns in diameter. That’s 300 times smaller than the thickness of a human hair. Under certain airflow conditions, dust, dander, pollen, smoke, dust mites, mold spores, bacteria and viruses are filtered out of the air.
