Whatever your needs, there is an Absolute filter for you.

Posted on 28/08/2014 by Camfil UK

What are you looking for in an air filter?

Of course, each and every filter offers first-rate quality and top performance. Is price most important? Or is it essential that the filter can handle a high airflow? Or that it has a specific structure or design? Maybe you’re looking for a filter that has a low pressure drop, so that it “consumes” less energy?

From a sustainability point of view, all Absolute filters are an excellent choice. They have all been developed to be energy efficient and to last for a long time. And when it is finally time to change the filter, it is fully recyclable (it can be either crushed or burnt). Absolute filters are available with wood, plastic or metal frames.

Absolute DG

“The green scannable standard”

The Camfil Absolute D-G provides high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration for critical application processes. Its critical media mass, is more than twice that of standard HEPA filters, which ensures low resistance to airflow for optimal energy savings throughout the life of the filter and increased air changes for air-starved applications.

Absolute VG

“Ultimate performances”

The Camfil Absolute VG provides high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration for critical application processes. Its critical media mass, is more than twice that of standard HEPA filters, which ensures low resistance to airflow for optimal energy savings throughout the life of the filter and increased air changes for air-starved applications.

Air pollution danger worse than previously thought warns UN health agency

Posted on 09/04/2013 by Camfil UK

The United Nations World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that the dangers posed by air pollution are far larger than previously thought as it called again for rapid global action in reducing what it described as one of the greatest hazards to human health.

The warning was voiced at the recent meeting of the UN Environment Programme’s (UNEP) Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC), held in Paris, France.

Health advocates were told that indoor air pollution had become the leading risk factor for “burden of disease” in South Asia while it was ranked second in Eastern, Central and Western Sub-Saharan Africa and third in Southeast Asia.

The estimations we have now tell us there are 3.5 million premature deaths every year caused by household air pollution, and 3.3 million death every year caused by outdoor air pollution,

Dr. Maria Neira, WHO’s Director of Public Health and Environment, told the meeting.

According to the UN News Centre, ground-level ozone pollution was estimated to cause an additionally 200,000 premature deaths every year, the agency said in a press release, which notes that “burden of disease” is a calculation based on years of life lost combined with years lived at less than full health.

Air pollution is becoming one of the biggest health issues we have in front of us at the moment,

Dr. Neira said.

The CCAC, whose partners include Member States and civil society health advocates, targets so-called short-lived climate pollutants, or SLCPs, as major culprits in the damage to health, as well as the cause of crop loss and climate change. SLCPs that are harmful to human health are released through numerous sources ranging from diesel engine exhaust and smoke and soot from inefficient cook stoves to leakage and flaring from oil and natural gas production and emissions from solid waste disposal.

In a press statement marking the meeting, UNEP noted that fast action on SLCPs could “dramatically” reduce the number of annual deaths from air pollution. Efforts to lower black carbon emissions from heavy-duty vehicles and engines were receiving “particularly strong attention” from the CCAC.

Outdoor air pollution infiltrates into buildings. Without appropriate ventilation, it accumulates and can even react with other indoor air pollutants. The Camfil Group is a world leader in the development and production of air filters and clean air solutions. With 50 years of experience in air filtration products and solutions, Camfil delivers value to customers all over the world while contributing to something essential to everyone – clean air for health, well-being and performance.
