Indoor Air Quality and HEPA Air Purifiers

Americans spend an average of 87% of their time indoors and studies have shown that indoor air pollution can be 2 to 5 times greater than outdoor pollution levels.
Poor indoor air quality can cause or contribute to the development of infections, lung cancer and chronic lung diseases such as asthma.
Use efficient air filters for your home's HVAC system or consider purchasing high-efficiency particle air (HEPA) filters as part of your overall strategy to keep your indoor air clean.
