Abstract: This symposium sponsored by the Fiber Society and the Filtration Society has provided a clear indication that the “black-art” era of filtration has passed or is on its way out. The R & D efforts reviewed here by investigators from diverse disciplines provide evidence that these high efficiency particulate control devices can be made to function not only more consistently at high levels but now with even better control of the fine, health damaging particles. The outstanding improvement in every filtration parameter, reliably attainable by aerosol charging and/or by imposing an electric field on the filter, indicates clearly that fabric filtration has now reached an even higher plateau in particulate control technology.
