Choosing The Right Portable Air Purifier
Most buildings may not require a brand-new ventilation system for safe occupation during the pandemic; however, an air quality assessment may uncover areas at risk. A portable air cleaner should also be considered in areas where adequate ventilation is difficult to achieve and in higher-risk areas, such as the school nurse’s office.
As recommended by the CDC, HEPA filtration systems offer a proven, cost-effective supplemental filtration option that will further decrease the risk of COVID-19 exposure in commercial and institutional building environments.
HEPA filters are at least 99.97% efficient at capturing human-generated COVID-19 viral particles, and with proper use, can help reduce indoor transmission of the virus. It’s important to choose an air filtration unit that fits the specific need of your space.
