HEPA Air Purifier
The H13 HEPA filter is a medical-grade air filter capable of removing a minimum of 99.95% particles at MPPS (0.21 microns). This is unlike the lower-grade HEPA filters (H10 to H12), which traps 85% to 99.5% of contaminants of 0.3 microns of size in the air.
Medical-grade filters are commonly used in electronic control rooms and pharmaceutical plants. The reason why is because they have a higher particulate retention rate. What this means is that an H13 HEPA filter can remove tiny particles in the air more efficiently.
HEPA filters are usually made of one of the following materials:
- Non-woven fabric material or polypropylene allows for better air filtration.
- Fiberglass or glass fiber enables the HEPA filter to have better performance.
- They were first made by the US government during World War II and incorporated in gas masks. Today, they are widely used to remove particulate from the air.
- What you need to know is that HEPA filters, including the H13 HEPA filter, are safe. In fact, they do not emit pollution into your home or office. They work by trapping airborne particles such as pet dander, pollen, dust, mold spores, and fibers.
