First Place Supply is a trusted supplier of HEPA, first stage, second stage, and final stage air filters from Abatement Technologies to fit all your filtration needs for improved air quality.
Air filters are designed to remove particles, contaminants, and other impurities from the air. This can include things like dust, pollen, mold spores, and other allergens that can have a negative impact on air quality. By removing these particles from the air, a filter can help to improve the overall air quality in a given space.
Benefits of Air Filters:
- Improved Health: Air filters Reduce the risk of respiratory problems and allergic reactions
- More Comfortable Environment: By using air filters, you clean the air of contaminants and other allergens that can cause health problems, allowing for a more comfortable environment
- Neutralizes Odors: Many air filters help to remove bad odors from the air, which can further improve the air quality in a space
Common Air Filters:
HEPA: HEPA (or High Efficiency Particulate Air) is a type of air filter designed to remove 99.97% of particles that are 0.3 microns or larger in size from the air that passes through it. This makes it an extremely effective filter for capturing a wide range of airborne contaminants, including mold spores, and other allergens. HEPA filters are commonly used in air purifiers and vacuum cleaners to remove these types of contaminants from the air and improve the air quality in a home or other indoor space. They are also used in hospitals, laboratories, and other environments where it is important to maintain a high level of air purity.
First Stage: A first stage pre-filter is designed to capture the coarsest particles circulating through your air duct system, helping to extend the life of the second stage carbon-pleated filter and the HEPA filter. Take a look at one of our most popular First Stage Air Filters here.
Second Stage: A second stage filter is used after the first stage of filtering. In a multi-stage filtration system, the first stage filter is typically a coarse filter that removes large particles and debris, while the second stage filter is a finer filter that removes smaller particles and contaminants. A second stage filter will further purify the material or system being filtered by removing even smaller particles that the first stage filter may have missed. This can help to improve the overall effectiveness of the filtration system and ensure that the final product is as clean and pure as possible.

Third Stage: A third stage carbon filter is a type of filter that uses activated carbon to remove contaminants from a material or system. Activated carbon is a type of carbon that has been treated to make it highly porous and capable of adsorbing (or binding to) a wide range of contaminants, including organic molecules, heavy metals, and other impurities. In a filtration system, the carbon filter is typically used in the third stage, after the first two stages of filtration have removed larger particles and debris. The purpose of the third stage carbon filter is to remove any remaining contaminants that may be present, using the highly adsorptive properties of activated carbon. This can help to improve the overall purity of the material or system being filtered, ensuring it meets the desired standards for quality.

FAQs
How can air quality filters improve the safety of workers?
Air quality filters can improve the safety of workers by removing pollutants and other contaminants from the air on the job site. This can help to reduce the risk of respiratory infections and other illnesses that can be caused by poor air quality.
Are air quality filters required on construction sites?
The use of air quality filters on construction sites is not typically required by law. However, many construction companies choose to use air quality filters to protect their workers and improve air quality on the job site.
How can construction workers determine the air quality on the job site?
Workers can determine the air quality on the job site by using air quality monitors or sensors. These devices can measure the levels of pollutants and other contaminants in the air, providing an indication of the overall air quality.
Are air quality filters effective at removing viruses and bacteria from the air?
Air quality filters are typically effective at removing large particles such as dust and pollen from the air. However, they may not be as effective at removing smaller particles such as viruses and bacteria. To remove these smaller particles, it is recommended to use air quality filters with a high Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) rating.
How often should air quality filters be replaced?
The frequency at which air quality filters should be replaced depends on the specific type of filter and the conditions in which it is used. In general, it is recommended to replace air quality filters according to the manufacturer's instructions.
