Indoor air pollution is a complex issue involving a wide diversity and variability of pollutants that threaten human health. For creating a healthy indoor environment, it is important to start with the control of indoor pollution sources. Most of the time it is impossible to control the pollutant sources, making it necessary to use filtration technologies. These technologies consume a considerable amount of energy to provide a comfortable indoor climate. This review presents a general overview of existing filtration technology, evaluating, their effectiveness in improving air quality while considering energy efficiency and economic factors. Additionally, the review provides insights into how diverse filtration techniques use energy conversion to mitigate various indoor air pollution, showcasing their advantages and limitations, and paving the way for future solutions that prioritize energy efficiency and optimal indoor environments.

The study explores the intricate relationship between filtration efficiency, pressure drops, and energy consumption in heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. The findings reveal that while...
