Tech Updates: Air purifiers without HEPA filters !

Air Purifier:  HEPA filters are capable of removing up to 99.97% of airborne particles, including dust, pollen, pet dander, mold, bacteria, and viruses. However, without HEPA filters, air purifiers are not as effective in removing all the pollutants in the air.

Air purifiers without HEPA filters can still remove some types of pollutants, such as:

Large dust particles: These dust particles are larger than 10 micrometers and can be seen with the eyes.

Some allergens: Allergens such as pollen and mold are 2 to 100 micrometers in size.

Some odors: Some odors are caused by VOCs (volatile organic compounds), which can be removed by activated charcoal filters in air purifiers.

However, without HEPA filters, air purifiers will not be effective at removing small particles, such as:

PM2.5: These fine particles are smaller than 2.5 micrometers and are the main cause of air pollution.

Viruses and bacteria: These microorganisms are 0.1 to 5 micrometers in size and can cause disease.

If you live in an area where air pollution or allergy levels are high, it is important to purchase an air purifier with a HEPA filter.

HEPA filters can help remove harmful pollutants from your home and improve air quality, making it easier for you to breathe and improving your health.

It is also important to note that not all air purifiers are created equal.

When purchasing an air purifier, it is important to pay attention to the CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) rating. CADR measures the amount of air an air purifier can clean per hour.

The higher the CADR rating, the more effective the air purifier will be.

Finally, it is important to ensure that you change the filters of your air purifier regularly.

As filters become dirty, they become less effective.

Most HEPA filters should be replaced every 6-12 months.
