Pathogens controlled by IQAir HealthPro air purifiers. The following is a partial list of airborne pathogens. Please compare the DIA Microns column and the Disease column. IQAir® guarantees their air purifiers will filter out at least 99% of everything on this list (everything larger than .3 microns will be filtered at 99.97%). IQAir air purifiers have been proven to be 100 times more efficient than other air filtration systems. The product of choice to remove these particles from homes is the HealthPro Plus - for even more serious control of microorganisms see our Cleanroom Series. |
