Abstract |
Report of a study of household vacuum cleaners concerning their collection efficiency immediately after new high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters have been installed. Low-cost household vacuum cleaners equipped with such a final HEPA filter were found to have initial filtration efficiencies comparable to those of industrial vacuum cleaners equipped with a HEPA filter. For extensive cleaning efforts and for cleaning of wet surfaces industrial vacuum cleaners may have an advantage. |
