Hepa Purifiers
HEPA purifiers are made from a type of filter material that is used in both vacuum cleaners and air cleaners. These products help to reduce dust and odors in the air you breathe, which can lead to a decrease in allergy and asthma symptoms. This reduction happens in two ways. HEPA air cleaners can capture up to 99.97 percent of the tiniest .3 micron particles. They use pounds of activated carbon to absorb chemicals. Secondly, HEPA purifiers keep the allergy-provoking pollen grains, dust mites, mold spores, and pet dander from coming back into the room after being picked up by the air purifiers.
One frequent complaint about air purification systems using HEPA filters is that they are too loud. HEPA purifiers only work when air is drawn through them, and it takes a powerful motor to pull air from around the room into the unit for filtering. Manufacturers are beginning to address this with better engineering, so it may be possible to find a HEPA filtration machine that is also quiet.
Popular HEPA Purifiers
HEPA and ULPA grade air filters are used in private homes, mini environments, hospital operating rooms, and around medical equipment, pharmaceuticals and food processing areas. Many of today's new air purification systems are highly effective because of the incorporation of HEPA filters. Also, many of the new vacuum cleaners, which incorporate the HEPA filter, have a higher vacuum cleaner rating.
The unabbreviated term for HEPA is "high efficiency particulate air." HEPA purifiers continue to be known for the excellence of their filters and their wide usage in air cleaning units with both small and large uses. HEPA purifiers are useful for many people and businesses, from the small restaurant trying to get rid of food and cigarette odors to an industrial plant eliminating noxious chemical fumes before they can damage workers' lungs.
