company news about The effectiveness of HEPA filters on air purification

Air is more contaminated than you think

We can't always see what can hurt us. Even something as intimate as the air we breathe can be filled with harmful contaminants. Pollution. Allergens. Mould. Viruses. Bacteria. Poor-quality air can be filled with these, all of which can affect our health. And even though we might clean our homes until they are pristine, we can’t clean the air with sprays and cleaning chemicals. So, what do we do? Luckily, technology can help in the form of an air purifier.

How air purifiers can be effective

An air purifier cleans the air for you. It removes nasty contaminants like pollutants, moulds, allergens and viruses, leaving fresh, pristine air to fill your lungs. One of the factors we need to consider when taking care of our health is our environment. It’s something that’s often overlooked, but it’s vital to our health. An air purifier helps ensure that your environment is conducive to your physical well-being – cleaning what you can’t clean yourself.

How it works

A HEPA filter stops different-sized particles in various ways. Large particles are too big to pass through the gaps in the filter, so they get stuck. Smaller particles (things like bacteria, for example) get stuck to the fibres of the filter, preventing them from passing through.
And the smallest particles are caught via diffusion – being so small, they zoom around in zig-zagging movements instead of passing straight through the gaps in the filter, so they eventually get stuck in the filter’s fibres too.
