  1. Has nothing at all to do with radiation.  "HEPA", I do not know the exact terminology HOWEVER:  

             High Efficiency Particles ----"something".   It really does use a high voltage electrical field to "suck" very tiny particles out of the air that passes through it.  Some of the filters are just "filters". Others use high voltage to energize a special filter to Ionize the passing dust/spores, etc., to get them out of the air.

    When shopping for these things go to the Consumer Reports site to find out which ones work and which ones are just fakes!


  2. Hi Saya,

    The previous answers are correct in that it has nothing to do with radiation.  Hepa filters clean the air from particles, dirt, and odors.  Air purifiers can work great to help with these air contaminants.  In fact, I bought one from http://www.firstairpurifier.com and it works great!  Good luck to you!

  3. We have used HEPA Filtration in our products for years. They are a very fine filter that offers up to 99.999 % efficiency of filtering out the specific pollutants. They work on the same theory as your home filters in your house - air passes through them and the particles are caught.  Big trick is - if it bypasses the filter it leaves just as dirty.  

    But more importantly, it sounds like you're wondering what they are used for - in home use would be in a smokers home, a person with allergies, someone who fries a lot - someone with pets, etc. Anywhere that you really want to get a better filtration of your air. Be careful when just installing them in your furnace/ac - the best ones can reduce the speed the air going through your unit.  Make sure it's one that your mfg recommends.
