[net.med] HEPA filters for office

thrapp@noscvax.UUCP (Gary R. Thrapp) (05/23/85)

-

The HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) type of air filter
has been recommended to me as a fairly effective filter.  The
type recommended was said to be in the $400-500 range.  A recent
Consumer Reports article reviewed one that was I think around
$125.

I am interested in reviews on the utility of this type of filter
for a small office including effectiveness, noise levels, and
maintenance.  Also where does one buy them (especially in
San Diego).

Any information will be greatly appreciated.  I plan to post
a summary of responses that I receive by mail.
