Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon

If you're concerned about asbestos in your home or workplace in Devon, you may be wondering if HEPA filters can remove this hazardous material. At Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon, we're here to provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision about asbestos removal.

HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are designed to capture 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, and other airborne contaminants. However, when it comes to asbestos, the situation is more complex. Asbestos fibres are extremely fine and can be easily disturbed, releasing them into the air. While HEPA filters can capture some asbestos fibres, they are not a reliable solution for removing asbestos from a contaminated area.

Using HEPA filters to remove asbestos can actually increase the risk of fibre release and exposure. When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed, the fibres can become airborne and be spread throughout the area. HEPA filters may not be able to capture all of these fibres, and the filter itself can become contaminated with asbestos. This can lead to a range of health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma.
