High-efficiency particulate air or HEPA is a type of air filter. Filters meeting the HEPA standard have many applications, including use in medical facilities, abatement of asbestos, mold and lead, restoration after water damage and many others. To qualify as HEPA by US government standards, an air filter must remove at least 99.97% of all particles greater than 0.3 micrometer from the air that passes thru the filter.
- HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are highly effective at trapping and removing microscopic particles, including dust, smoke, bacteria and other contaminants
- This quality results in improved air quality and worker health, reducing the risk of respiratory illnesses and allergies
- Additionally, HEPA filters play a crucial role in maintaining the cleanliness of sensitive equipment and machinery, prolonging their lifespan and minimizing maintenance costs
- Overall, in industrial settings, HEPA filters are essential for maintaining a safe and productive work environment while meeting regulatory compliance and quality control standards
