HEPA filters have existed since the early 1950s and are the most effective filters you can buy. They are an important component in the effectiveness of any air filtration system that claims to provide comprehensive elimination of harmful pollutants,” stated Kevin Wood, Camfil USA Vice President Sales & Marketing. “In basic terms, these filters are rated to trap a higher percentage of ver...

Camfil, a world leader in air filtration and clean air solutions, has created a free Quick Cost Comparison tool that gives commercial facility supervisors the opportunity to compare the installation, labor and waste disposal costs of different pleated panel air filters / pre-filters. “We wanted to provide prospective clients in commercial industries with a tool that showed them exactly w...

As demands for network bandwidth continues to increase due to billions of online users, data center pollution has become a growing environmental concern. Although most people don’t really know where the power to stream movies or download videos comes from, the public does become aware of data centers when network grids overload and lead to a brownout. “Data centers are springing up in ev...

Airports are one of the most congested areas in major cities, because they are often located in places with high vehicle traffic and industrial processes. As a result, airport pollution has become one of the persistent problems for city officials, as they grapple with the long-term effects of bad air. There is hope, however, as some airports are taking the initiative to push through measures...

As outside air pollution continues to worsen, it has a direct, negative effect on indoor air quality (IAQ). In fact, some studies have found that indoor pollution may be twice as bad as the pollution outdoors, which is why it’s so important for commercial facilities to install premium air filters. But instead of just improving the air quality, air filters can also save money through a reduct...

Studies have found that even the most efficient air-conditioning system can spew out high amounts of bacteria into an indoor facility, and when that facility is responsible for the manufacturing and packaging of food, that pollutant can create a health crisis. That’s why air quality at a food processing plant is so important, and also why it’s nearly impossible to eliminate pollutants withou...

As a place of healing and recovery, hospital air quality is even more important than the air quality at commercial offices and shopping malls. The purpose of a hospital is to return people to good health, and an essential aspect of this process is ensuring that airborne pollutants do not make existing conditions worse.   “Well we know from our research that many hospitals are struggling ...

We don’t often think about how much time we spend indoors, much less how much time we spend at work in an office space. But it’s important for us to understand how the air we breathe can affect our long-term health. That’s especially true when it comes to office air quality, since most adults spend at least eight hours in these enclosed areas. “There is the tendency for people to believe...

You don't have to be a HEPA filtration expert to understand the basic function of a standard air filter, which is to trap as many harmful pollutants as possible. But here's a question you should ask yourself: Are all air filters basically the same? The short answer is "no," because the health benefits of High-Efficiency Particulate Arrestance (HEPA) filters are greater than that of a regular...

By now, the dangers of air pollution are well documented, especially as it relates to children and the elderly, who have weaker immune systems, and people who suffer from respiratory problems. But a new study has found a link between air pollution and the stock market, which may indicate that bad air quality is not just a health issue, it may also be an economic hazard. “Traditionally, w...
