Vent-Axia highlights the importance of fi lters on Clean Air Day Leading British ventilation manufacturer Vent-Axia proudly supported
Global Action Plan’s Clean Air Day on Thursday, 18 June 2026. T
his year, Vent-Axia marked the day by highlighting the role air fi lters play in maintaining good indoor air quality (IAQ) and reminding homeowners of the importance of regular ventilation maintenance.
Filters are a key component of many ventilation systems, such as Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) systems and Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) units, helping remove airborne pollutants and particulate matter from incoming air. With the Future Homes Standard, set to deliver increasingly airtight and energy effi cient homes, eff ective ventilation and fi ltration will play an ever more important role in maintaining healthy indoor environments. Air pollution is the biggest environmental risk to our health. Breathing in dirty air impacts us all and is linked to a range of health problems throughout our lives, from premature birth and childhood asthma to heart and lung disease, diabetes and strokes in later life. While outdoor air pollution often dominates the headlines, good indoor air quality is vital since people spend around 90% of their time indoors. Ensuring ventilation is operating eff ectively is therefore essential to maintaining healthy indoor environments.
Designed to remove air pollutants and particulates from incoming air, fi lters help improve IAQ by reducing contaminants such as dust, pollen and particulate matter entering the home. However, over time, fi lters can collect dust and pollens and become less eff ective. As fi lters become clogged, airfl ow can become
restricted, reducing the amount of air entering a property and impacting both IAQ and system performance.
“Clean Air Day provides an important opportunity to raise awareness of the impact of indoor air quality on our health,” said Katie Scott, channel marketing manager at Vent-AxiaFilters are often the unsung heroes of ventilation systems, quietly removing pollutants from the air we breathe every day. By replacing fi lters as needed and servicing ventilation systems, households can help ensure they benefi t from cleaner, healthier air.” Vent-Axia recommends that
fi lters are checked every three to six months, although this varies depending on a property’s location and exposure to
pollution. Homes located next to busy roads or other sources of outdoor pollution may need to be checked more frequently, due to higher levels of airborne particulates. Filters can be easily removed and replaced with new fi lters to ensure optimum performance. Diff erent grades of fi lters are available to provide diff erent levels of protection. Coarse ISO 45% (G3) fi lters provide the minimum required fi ltration, while ISO ePM10 50% (M5) fi lters remove smaller particles, including pollen. For enhanced fi ltration, ISO ePM2.5 70% (F7) fi lters capture fi ne PM2.5 particles commonly associated with vehicle exhaust emissions and other forms of air pollution. In particularly polluted areas, higher levels of fi ltration are available to further improve indoor air quality. Despite their importance, fi lters are often overlooked once a ventilation system has been installed. Yet regular fi lter replacement is one of the simplest and most cost-eff ective ways to help ensure a ventilation system continues to deliver good indoor air quality, energy effi ciency and occupant comfort. By checking and replacing fi lters when required, homeowners can help maintain the eff ectiveness of their ventilation
system while protecting the quality of air they breathe every day.
Regular servicing also helps maintain energy
effi ciency, ensuring ventilation systems continue operating at optimum performance and air quality, as well as helping avoid unnecessary repair costs. Cleaning and maintaining ventilation systems is particularly important in urban and polluted environments where fi lters can become dirtier more quickly. Vent-Axia off ers a comprehensive range of replacement fi lters, fi ltration solutions and service packages to help maintain healthy indoor environments. Its range includes replacement fi lters for MVHR and Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) systems, as well as advanced fi ltration options, such as the Vent-Axia Pure Air fi ltration system, which is designed to increase fi ltration levels and help create a healthier indoor environment. Vent-Axia also off ers MVHR and PIV servicing packages, including fi lter replacement, system inspection and cleaning, helping ensure ventilation systems continue to perform effi ciently while delivering good IAQ.
