Are the benefits of HEPA filtration recognized by the scientific and health care communities?
• According to a 1997 American Lung Association publication, “Because of its high efficiency at filtering out tiny particulates, HEPA filtration is recommended for those individuals who suffer from allergies, asthma or other respiratory problems.” HEPA filters have been used for many years for medical, pharmaceutical, nuclear and asbestos and mold abatement applications. An extensive study published in the 1995 American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine determined that long-term exposure to high levels of fine particulates is associated with higher mortality risks and shorter life span. Abatement’s CAP HEPA systems are often purchased as a direct result of specific recommendations from allergists, pediatricians and other physicians.
