HEPA Filters And Allergies


In the air purification industry the term HEPA is used a lot. It is an abbreviation made by using the first letters of the words high efficiency particle arresting.

This type of filter is designed to remove airborne particles, and as its name suggests it is incredibly effective at eliminating them.

To be more specific, it must be able to remove 99,997 out of every 10,000 particles that can be as small as .3 microns with a micron being defined as one millionth of a meter.

This is why it is such an effective solution for those with airborne allergies because many of the triggers that cause life-interrupting symptoms are particles.

Irritants such as household dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, bacteria, viruses, and seasonal pollens are some of the most potent allergens known, and this type of filtration can remove them.

PurerAir.com offers an allergy air purifier with a high efficiency particle arresting filter, 2 pre-filters (for large and medium size particles), and carbon cloth. Having the carbon cloth as the 4th filter in this purifier gives a dual benefit.

Not only will carbon cloth remove gaseous pollutants that can also trigger allergies such as smoke, and airborne chemicals; it is also able to remove additional particulates because of its woven structure.

See the air purifier that uses HEPA filtration and 3 other particle filters to continually clear the air of allergens at http://purerair.com/allergy_machine.html
