Gap Analysis

The document appears to be a collection of summaries of various articles and studies related to air quality and air purifiers. It includes summaries of studies conducted on the efficiency of HEPA filters in air handling systems in India and laboratories. It also summarizes a study comparing the particle removal efficiency of HEPA filters in laboratory testing versus actual use. Several summaries note that analyses were restricted to controlled environments and did not incorporate user feedback. Limitations mentioned include a lack of standards for indoor ozone levels from air purifiers and that air purifiers alone cannot solve air quality issues or health problems. The document appears to focus mainly on research from the US.

Portable air purifiers work best at high


speeds but are quietest on low. Run the unit
on the higher, louder setting when youre
not in the room, and turn it down to low
when youre nearby. Or buy a model
certified for a larger area. We believe a
clean-air delivery rate (CADR) above 350 is
excellent, and one below 100 is poor.

Laboratory testing and field monitoring


indicate that the presence of a HEPA filter in
a system may delay the attainment of peak
concentration levels downstream of the
HEPA filter, due to the enormous surface
area of the filtration media.

obstacles, along with a reliable source of

ventilate a home with clean outdoor air. The
ventilation method, however, may be limited
by weather conditions or undesirable levels
of contaminants in outdoor air. If these

airborne particles including those associated
with allergens and, in some cases, gaseous
pollutants in a home, air cleaning may not
decrease adverse health effects from indoor
air pollutants.
