But the most important rule considers to applying air purification systems with high-efficient particulate arrestance filters (briefly HEPA), which allows to eliminate at least 99,9% of microparts, which are 0.3 microns and larger.
Department of Energy enforced the HEPA as golden standard, so it is the best decision to keep air free from particulates. However, there are still variety of HEPA filters proposed at the market. Emergency Plumbing propose you to consider the following:
TRUE HEPA WITH UV-C
This type is the universal option, which filters the majority of allergens. It leads to higher cost comparing to others, but it is worth of it for people with strong allergies or who lives in areas with high allergen levels during the season. As you can see from the name this type is represented by combination of HEPA filters together with UV germicidal lamp, so neither allergens no germs and bacteria will bother you with it.

TRUE HEPA
This type doesn’t contain UV germicidal lamp. Its work is based on replaceable filters, which provide removal of 99,9% of particles. This type is considered as required minimum to protect people, who suffers from allergy and who wants to breath fresh and safe air.
Please, note that for an effective work the filters should be replaced each 3 months.
HEPA-TYPE AND PERMANENT HEPA-TYPE AIR PURIFIERS
In case you don’t suffer from allergy, but you still want to breath clean and fresh air, the HEPA-Type air purifiers become good and not expensive option. It still serves as a trap for dust, dander and smoke, but cannot remove smaller parts from the air, including main allergens. However, they can contain either replaceable or permanent filters, which can be either changed each 3 months or be regularly cleaned.
OTHER TYPES
-
Activated carbon, which work is based on absorbent pores which serve as trap for microparts passing via this filter. These pores enter a chemical reaction with pollutants contained in the air, so it is effective against odors caused by smoke, cooking, and chemicals eliminating them from the air. Although this type cannot remove dust or allergens.
-
UV, which work is based on UV germicidal lamp. It proves you with the air free from germs, creating safe and healthy environment for your family. The best option is, when UV filters are combined with True HEPA or HEPA-Type filters.
-
Ionic purifiers, which affect the air with stream of negative ions. Technically, it doesn’t clear the air, but make pollution in the air heavier, so it cannot stay there anymore. Instead of it, it builds up on surfaces, so you don’t breathe it, but still need to clear by yourself.
