👉 Filters for infection are designed to prevent or reduce the spread of pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites, from causing disease in individuals or populations. These filters work by physically removing contaminants or blocking their entry into the body. Common types include mechanical filters, which use physical barriers like mesh or pleats to trap particles; electrostatic filters, which leverage electrical charges to attract and capture pathogens; and chemical filters, which employ substances that neutralize or inactivate microorganisms. Additionally, some filters incorporate antimicrobial coatings or materials that inhibit microbial growth. By effectively filtering out infectious agents, these systems protect against infections in various settings, from healthcare facilities to household appliances.
