Particle Size Chart

MatrixAir specializes in innovative air filtration solutions designed to tackle a wide range of airborne particles. Our technology ensures a cleaner, healthier environment by filtering out particles of various sizes. Read ahead for a detailed look at common particle sizes, such as dust mites, pollen, and smoke, helping you understand how our systems efficiently manage indoor air quality.

What Are Particles?

Particles in the air can come from various sources, both natural and man-made. They range in size from tiny molecular structures to visible dust specks. The size of these particles is typically measured in microns (µm), with a micron being one-millionth of a meter.

Common Particle Sizes

• Dust Mites Often found in household dust, dust mites are tiny bugs that are a common trigger for allergies and asthma. Despite their small size, they are effectively captured by HEPA filters designed to trap particles down to 0.3 microns.
• Pollen Pollen grains vary widely in size, which can impact their ability to cause allergic reactions. Our air filters can capture and remove pollen, ensuring it does not circulate through your indoor air.
• Pet Dander Tiny flakes of skin shed by pets such as dogs and cats, pet dander can be a persistent allergen. MatrixAir systems are equipped to filter out these microscopic particles, aiding in allergy relief.
• Smoke  Smoke particles from cigarettes, wildfires, and cooking can penetrate deep into the lungs. Our advanced filtration technology addresses these ultrafine particles, providing protection against smoke and its associated health risks.
