HEPA Vacuums

Using a Hepa Vacuum to clean mold spores as part of a mold remediation project facility in Scranton, Pa.

High-efficiency particulate arrestance (HEPA), also sometimes called high-efficiency particulate arresting or high-efficiency particulate air, is a type of air filter. Filters meeting the HEPA standard have many applications, including use in medical facilities, automobiles, aircraft and homes. 

HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) vacuums differ from conventional vacuums in that they contain filters that are capable of trapping extremely small, micron-sized particles. A true HEPA filter can trap 99.97 percent of all airborne particles larger than 0.3 microns.

The HEPA filter traps the fine particles (such as pollen, mold spores and dust mite feces) which trigger allergy and asthma symptoms.
