What is HEPA?
So, let's start with what it stands for. High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) is the gold standard of filtration. That gold standard is a filter developed by the United States' best scientists more than half a century ago, which captures at least 99.97% of airborne particles 0.3 microns in diameter. In fact, HEPA filters capture more than 99.97% of airborne particles, whether they are smaller or larger than 0.3 microns in diameter! But we keep seeing this word "micron" - how big is a micron? It's a unit of measurement that is rather small, to say the least. Keeping in mind that a HEPA filter is good for capturing particles 0.3 microns and above, a strand of hair is between 50 and 100 microns wide. HEPA filters are this effective with 0.3 microns, so you can see how great they work with the standard particle sizes of PM10 and PM2.5!
One thing to remember, however, is that there are many products on the market that advertise themselves as HEPA-type, HEPA-like, or HEPA-style. Sounds great, but it's really just a copycat design, which might have a filter with similar layers and materials to a HEPA filter, but ultimately doesn't meet the stringent standard set by the Environmental Protection Agency. HEPA filters only work if ALL air passes through them, whereas "HEPA-style" can't guarantee this.
Why is HEPA filtration important?
So, we know that HEPA filtration is incredibly good at blocking harmful particles up to 0.3 microns in diameter (when a strand of hair is 50-100 microns), and we know that there are quite a few HEPA-pretenders out there, but why would there be so many wannabes? Because HEPA filtration keeps you, your family, and anyone nearby safe from harmful, airborne particles! It's a fantastic selling point for a product, especially around the home, where you spend so much time in an enclosed space, and it just so happens to be a genuinely important one. This isn't like selling snake oil - HEPA filtration makes your home's air cleaner and safer. Microscopic, airborne particles are mostly impossible to see, but can be inhaled and can be irritating or damaging to your health. Do you have allergies? Do you have asthma? You almost certainly need HEPA filtration in your vacuum cleaner, in your air purifier, or in any other appliance that is designed for air to pass through it.
