A member asked:
Is there some kind of air filter machine i can buy that works better than hepa?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: Hepa filters are best for allergies/ asthma. Bigger models may filter more air and others may have additional filters to give better results but always make sure it's a hepa.
