Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon

As a homeowner or business owner in Devon, you're likely concerned about the presence of asbestos in your property. Asbestos is a hazardous substance that can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. One common question people ask is whether HEPA air filters can remove asbestos from the air. In this article, we'll explore the answer to this question and provide guidance on how to safely remove asbestos from your property.

HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are designed to capture 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. These filters are commonly used in air purifiers and vacuum cleaners to remove dust, pollen, and other airborne particles. However, when it comes to asbestos, the situation is more complex. Asbestos fibres are extremely thin and can be as small as 0.01 microns, which is smaller than the particles that HEPA filters are designed to capture.

Unfortunately, HEPA air filters are not effective in removing asbestos fibres from the air. While they can capture larger particles, they are not designed to capture the extremely fine asbestos fibres. In fact, using a HEPA air filter in an area with asbestos can actually make the situation worse, as it can disturb the asbestos fibres and release them into the air.
