- The process of removing particles or pollutants from air or water.
- An air filter configured to have a large amount of surface area to minimize resistance to airflow. See also medium-efficiency filter.
- Another term you’ll see frequently. What do we mean?
- A ventilation system, usually an exhaust fan, used to move air through an entire house, usually in high volumes for the purpose of summer cooling.
- Caused by house pressurization or depressurization, not directly caused by a fan. Infiltration and exfiltration involve passive air movement.
- A plastic material that carries a permanent static charge, used in some air filters.
- An inert gas used to test high-efficiency (HEPA) particulate air filters.
- A federal agency charged with monitoring and regulating environmental quality, including air quality, and providing research-based information to the public.
- The amount of heat involved in raising or lowering the temperature of air, not including any heat required to cause water vapor to change state (e.g. from a gas to a liquid).
- A device that senses the carbon dioxide concentration in the air and can be used to control a ventilation system.
- Humidity is moisture in the air in the form of invisible water vapor. See absolute humidity and relative humidity.
- Stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air filter, often used in hospitals and laboratories.
- It’s an essential component of construction in a healthy home.
- A filter that relies on a fibrous material, usually polyester or fiberglass, to physically strain particulates out of the air.
- The bringing in of fresh air and the exhausting of stale air, and how air pressure differences are involved.
- A medical condition involving hypersensitivities to a wide variety of common air and food contaminants at very low levels.
- A method of testing very low-efficiency air filters.
- A system in some furnaces, boilers, fireplaces, and water heaters that is immune to pressure imbalances in a house because it draws combustion air from the outdoors into a sealed chamber and expels by-products to the outdoors.
- A form of aluminum oxide used as an adsorption material in air filters, more correctly called activated alumina impregnated with potassium permanganate.
- A class of hundreds of different molecular compounds containing carbon that easily evaporates, often released from building materials and found as contaminants in indoor air.
