Description

Air pollution has been a growing cause of concern over the past two decades. As pollution levels have risen, so have the demands of building occupants for “clean” interior air. In response to these demands, the traditional role of air conditioning systems, the control of interior air temperature and humidity, has progressively been expanded. Components such as air washers, electrostatic precipitators, high efficiency filters and activated carbon adsorbers have been added to remove particulate matter and odors from interior air.

The objective of this study was to determine the extent to which air conditioning equipment could remove pollutants from conditioned air supplied to interior spaces. The study was based on existing information available from the literature, and from equipment manufacturers and research workers. The Travelers Research Corporation conducted this study from July through December of 1969. The results are presented in this report.
