Cat Odor and HEPA Filters

HEPA is an abbreviation created by using the first letters of the words high efficiency particle arresting.

As its name indicates it is incredibly effective at removing particles. It does not remove odor.

But by definition it can remove particles that are as small as .3 microns in size with a micron is defined as one millionth of a meter.

That makes it an excellent filter to have to remove cat hair, dander and more usual types of particles found in homes such as dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, and seasonal pollen.

To remove odor you need a carbon-based filter. And if the cat odor you are wrestling with is urine, the carbon needs to be enhanced with an additive that is specifically designed to remove the principal element in urine---ammonia.

But since cat-related pollutants come in both gaseous and particulate form, the best type of air cleaner for a cat is one that contains filters for each type of pollutant.

PurerAir.com offers an air purifier that contains 3 filters for particles including a HEPA and a carbon-based filter enhanced with ammonasorb for urine odor.
