EFFICIENCIES AND DUST HOLDING CAPACITIES OF TEXTILES USED FOR AIR FILTER APPLICATIONS

In recent years due to the increasing population and developing technology, air pollution has become a serious problem for living organisms which threatens their health. quality and purity of indoor and outdoor air have great importance on the health of human beings. to breathe clean air, purified from different types of contaminants, air filtering applications are essential in our daily lives. hence, measurement of filtration efficiency, concerned standarts of efficiency measurement methods have attracted great attention of researchers considering the determination of the quality of filtering processes and providing optimum construction parameters for filtering material. in this paper, efficiency measurement methods and standarts of air filtering processes are mentioned in details and major air filter application areas are presented.
