The filters are capable of delivering 99.97 percent efficiency in removing fine particles
BURNABY, British Columbia — The global high-efficiency particulate arrestance (HEPA) filters market is forecast to reach $2.7 billion in 2016, according to a TechSci Research report, due to deteriorating indoor and outdoor air quality, rising consumer awareness regarding airborne diseases, coupled with stringent government regulations to improve IAQ.
HEPA filters are capable of delivering 99.97 percent efficiency in removing fine particles of size 0.3 microns or more. They have the ability to trap dust mites, mold spores, pollen, animal dander, tobacco smoke in the air as well as bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
