While filtration is undeniably important, there’s another powerful factor that often goes overlooked – one that can enhance the performance of every filter in your system.This expert article explores how humidity, far from being just a comfort metric, plays a critical role in air quality. Maintaining optimal relative humidity (RH) levels – typically between 40 and 60 percent – can significantly influence how airborne particles behave, making them easier to capture and control. In other words, effective air quality management isn’t just about cleaning the air – it’s also about calming it. Find out more by clicking the link below.
