HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air and refers to a special filter that is attached to the vacuum cleaner. A vacuum with a HEPA filter captures tiny particles of dust that would pass right through a regular vacuum. Asbestos fibers, which can be very small, are trapped by the HEPA filter so they are not re-suspended in the air.
