As a spin-off from the Helmut Schmidt University Hamburg, we attach great importance to objective data and external studies. That is why we only use the best HEPA H14 filters in our room air purifier and focus on a high volume flow. In this way, our room air purifier can reliably reduce the risk of infection with viruses, bacteria and the like. We have put together an overview of our sources for you here.
