Do “HEPA filters” create additional static charge in a room?
HEPA filters can remove as much as 99.9% of the moisture from the air, so when using a blower in this environment more static charge will be created. During the winter cold air can also increase the static charge. During the summertime the water molecules in the air help electrons to dissipate from the human body and other objects reducing their static charge. Therefore, it is care should be taken when working with electronic devices in dry, cold environments. HEPA filters also remove moisture and contaminants from the air; however, it provides reservoir with moisture creates environment for fungus growth. The spores from fungus are chemical resistant. Any blowing might transfer these spores to camera cavities or lenses. We all know that problem with old lenses are fungus growth. Zeeion™ uses a small translucent filter to avoid these problems. The Zeeion™ filter doesn’t remove moisture or promote fungus growth.
