As homes and office buildings are constructed to be airtight, the need for filtration increases due to the lack of outside air. Filtered products help recirculate and purify the air you breathe.

HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air. The most efficient filters meet HEPA standards, removing 99.97% of particles with a size of 0.3 microns that pass through the filter.

One micron is 100 times smaller than a human hair.

According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, a way to combat bioterrorism is to “Consider a portable air purifier, with a HEPA filter, to help remove contaminants from the room where you are sheltering.”
