Activated carbon is among the most
effective materials known today for
treating airborne chemicals, gases and odor.
It's used widely by the military, hospitals,
scientific and industrial facilities, and
disaster response units for its safe and
powerful adsorbing properties.
To be truly efficient, activated carbon
filters need to provide enough dwell time
for pollutants to be adsorbed. This means
that larger, deeper bed carbon filters will
adsorb more airborne pollutants.
HEPA stands for High Efficiency
Particulate Air and describes a filter that
can remove at least 99.97% of airborne
particles measuring 0.3 microns or larger.
True HEPA filters are composed of a
dense web of fibers, and are considered the
safest and most efficient method to eliminate
particles.
When used in combination, activated carbon
filters and HEPA filters (high efficiency
particle filters), offer the most
comprehensive air purification available to
treat airborne particles, chemicals, gases
and odor.
Air purifiers and air cleaners with
this technology are especially suited for
allergy relief, asthma prevention,
multiple chemical sensitivity, cigar and
cigarette odor removal, pet odor
removal, newborn baby health and
general home and office use.
AllerAir air purifiers use a five-stage
filtration process:
- A pre-filter to capture large
particles
- A medical-grade HEPA filter
guaranteed to trap 99.97% of airborne particles
0.3 microns in size
- An activated carbon filter with
pounds of granular virgin carbon to filter out
chemicals, gases and odors
- Two anti-microbial filters
Customize most AllerAir air purifiers with
an additional level of air filtration by adding
a UV (ultra violet) germicidal lamp.
UV works by breaking down microorganisms and
disrupting their DNA, making them unable to
reproduce and in effective, "kills" or
neutralizes them. Great for airborne mold
mycotoxins, bacteria and viruses.
