What is a working life of a HEPA Filter?

How soon the HEPA filter gets choked up depends upon how much dust is present in the incoming air as well as the pore size of the HEPA filter. Manufacturers of American air purifiers indicate a working life of 30 to 60 days for their HEPA filters. Considering that these filters have such a short life span even when used in the air conditioned rooms in USA where particulate contamination is already so low, it is impossible to assume a working life of even one month for these filters when operated in India.
