HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) Filters

HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are advanced filters designed to trap very small particles from the air. They can remove at least 99.97% of particles that are 0.3 micrometers in size, including dust, pollen, pet dander, bacteria, and some viruses. These filters work by forcing air through a dense fiber material that captures particles through mechanisms like interception and diffusion. HEPA filters are commonly used in hospitals, clean rooms, and air purifiers to improve indoor air quality and reduce airborne contaminants effectively.
