Air filters are designed to remove contaminants from air for the purposes of maintaining human comfort, improving health, protecting people from hazardous materials, and allowing or improving production processes. In doing so, air filters concentrate contamination in the filter media. One typical air filter will clean contamination from 13 million cubic meters of air per year.
Camfil Farr's extensive research includes studies on the following topics:
- TOC (Burnablity)
- Heat value
- Heavy metals
- PAH (Carcinogens)
- Bacteria
- Working environment for employees changing filters
Many countries have developed waste management regulations, some of which stipulate how air filters are to be disposed of when removed from service. Camfil Farr has a presence in virtually every industrialised country on the globe and is familiar with most of the regulations which pertain to filter disposal.

Our life cycle analysis programs provide for the most cost effective solutions available. These programs include disposal cost. The typical cost of disposal of air filters is less than 5% of the total life cycle cost. |
