20x20x2 Payne Carbon Air Purifier Filter

Air pollution accounts for 94% of all respiratory problems, including asthma, allergies, and bronchitis. Indoor air pollution is just as harmful as outdoor air pollution and is caused when too little outdoor air is allowed to circulate inside. When this happens, air pollutants begin to accumulate and can lead to harmful health problems such as respiratory problems, heart disease, and even cancer. Common indoor air pollutants include dust mites, mold spores, pet dander, gases, and chemicals such as VOCs. VOCs (volatile organic compounds) are chemicals found in common household products such as air fresheners, paints, and cleaning supplies; they evaporate into the air when used or when in storage and can cause irritations and can cause damage to the liver, kidneys, and central nervous system.

The best way to rid of VOCs and other harmful chemicals and gases is by using an activated carbon filter. Carbon becomes activated by treating charcoal with oxygen. This causes tiny pores in the carbon that trap pollutants such as chemicals and gases that ordinary filters are unable to capture. The thicker the carbon is, the more pollutants it is able to trap.

This 20x20x2 Payne carbon air purifier is a replacement filter that fits whole house HEPA air purifier model P102-550. This particular product is a special after filter that is designed to trap pollutants after they have been filtered through a pre-filter and a regular HEPA filter. This after filter has the ability to trap pollutants as small as 0.01 microns; this includes VOCs, odors, and other chemicals and gases. This replacement after filter is necessary for the quality performance of the air purifier filter. It measures 19.5" x 19.5" x 1 3/4" and should be replaced every 3 months for optimum performance. This filter helps keep your home healthy and clean and a better breathing environment!
