• The EPA has named indoor air quality as one of the top environmental risks to public health

• The EPA also reports that indoor air can be up to 5 times more polluted than the air outside

• Typical 1” filters only trap about 5-15% of airborne particulates. The primary function of these filters is to protect and to minimize the amount of dust on the fan and heating coil.

• Each person inhales over 3500 gallons of air each day.

• Polluted air causes over 94% of all respiratory problems.

• About 40,000 dust mites, a common allergen, can live on an ounce of dust. [1]

• A person sheds up to 700,000 skin flakes per day.

• Pets, particularly cats, tend to clean themselves by licking their fur. This leaves a very fine film of saliva on their fur that dries and then goes airborne as a very fine dust. This is the primary cause of most pet allergic reactions.

• HEPA filters effectively remove 99.97% of all particulates that are 0.03 microns and smaller such as pollen and dust that pass through the filter, returning purified to you home or office.

• These particulates, measured in microns, range in size from fairly large to microscopic.

• A human hair is about 70 microns in diameter

• The tiniest particles make up about 99% of debris in the air in your home

• These particles can bypass the respiratory system’s defense mechanisms such as the nose, sinuses and windpipe and become lodged in our lungs.
