Particulate Matter (PM)
Particulate matter (PM) refers to a mixture of tiny solid particles and liquid droplets
that are suspended in the air. These airborne particles can include dust, dirt, soot,
smoke and aerosols that can vary in size, composition and origin.
PM is typically categorized by the physical size of the particles, where PM10 will
relate to particles with a diameter of 10 microns or less. PM2.5 particles with a
diameter of 2.5 microns or less can potentially enter the bloodstream and lead to
respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.
AC Air Filtration & Purification
All residential air conditioners include some form of air filtration, primarily to prevent
larger airborne particles from entering the indoor evapouration unit that could
potentially clog the coil and damage mechanical components.
Additionally, most air conditioners will include a further level of filtration using cold
catalyst, carbon and HEPA fliters to remove odours, smoke and smaller airborne
particles.
Some of the more advanced systems use a combination of filters with a built-in ion
generator to help sanitise oom environments, removing or neutralising the most
harmful of contiminants including pathogens like Coronavirus.
