Functioning with COPD – Why use a HEPA filter?

 

Many substances commonly found in indoor air can worsen chronic lung disorders, such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

 

Known as COPD, the condition is often defined by shortness of breath, a deep-rooted cough, heart failure & heart attack and strokes, leading it to be recognised as one of the biggest causes of death globally.

 

High amounts of air particles in your workplace can negatively impact your health if you have COPD. Depending on the types of machinery used in the workplace, cleaning materials and many other factors, these levels can be more than twice as high as normal.

 

These particles can cause some swelling in your lungs. Air pollution can worsen your cough, breathing problems, and congestion.
