Shoud You Go HEPAHEPA air filters are among the best at removing pollutants from the air in your home.
HEPA filter technology was developed by the US government during World War II to remove radioactive dust from nuclear weapons factories. Today such air filtration technology is used to remove dust and debris from electronics factories and disease causing pollution from hospitals.
Air purifiers with HEPA technology are among the most efficient available on the market today. They remove 99.97% of pollutants from the air in a home. HEPA can get pollens, dust, dust mites, mold spores, and many other allergy causing pollutants out of the air in your home. One big advantage to HEPA is that solid pollution particles captured are not released into the air again.
There are some drawbacks to HEPA air filters that you should be aware of before you buy one. HEPA has a difficult time pulling in particles from all over the room so it has to be used with a fan or other system that circulates the air.
HEPA doesn’t remove smoke, smog, tobacco smoke, chemical fumes or odors from the air. It only removes dust so it will have to be complimented with other technologies to effectively clean the air in your home.
HEPA doesn’t capture ultra fine dust particles that can cause allergies. Worse it doesn’t get disease causing viruses and germs out of the air. So it doesn’t protect your family from infection.
Another big drawback to HEPA is that germs and viruses on particles caught in the filters can breed. This means that the filter can turn into a germ farm and your purifier could spread germs throughout the home. The way to prevent this is to clean the filter on a regular basis. Many people don’t like this system because they have to clean the filters out on a regular basis.
Most experts recommend that you employ an air filtration system that combines HEPA with a number of other air purification technologies. These technologies include an ionizer, an activated carbon air filter, a germicidal UV lamp and an ozone generator. It is also recommended that the air purifier include a fan to move the air throughout the room.
Many excellent brands of air purifiers employ HEPA technology. Individuals suffering from allergies, asthma and other breathing problems can get some relief by using HEPA air purifiers.
