The average American spends anywhere from 27 minutes to 2 hours on the road commuting to and from work every day. On top of that, we’re in the car for a variety of other reasons – grocery shopping, driving the kids to school, even taking a family road trip. For all the times we’re in our vehicles, we should be in a clean and healthy environment to keep our families protected. Bosch HEPA Cabin Air Filters in cars are designed with your health and breathing comfort in mind, filtering out harmful gases and bacteria floating around in the environment. Whether it is gases from passing cars or dewy mold and dust in car garages, Bosch can help shield your family.
Cabin Air Filters in Cars – The How-To & Why
Equipping your vehicle with exceptional quality cabin air filters in cars that work as hard as you do is essential to your wellbeing and the well-being of those you love. And with all the “particle-trapping” filters on the market, it can be overwhelming to choose an effective product for your family. You want, hands down, Bosch filters that have been extensively tested and designed to meet HEPA standards.
Don’t forget to change your cabin air filter every so often for maximum protection. Bosch recommends replacing a cabin air filter every 12,000 miles or per your vehicle owner’s manual.
Filters Designed with Your Families’ Health In Mind
A HEPA filter, also known as a high-efficiency particulate air filter, can filter at least 99.97% of dust, pollen, mold, bacteria, and other airborne particles at 0.3 microns. Whereas other cabin air filters work up to 98% of allergens at 5-100 microns in size, causing harmful particles not to be filtered out.

You may be familiar with vacuums and home filters having the HEPA standard filters. While these solutions are excellent for protecting you while you are in your home, once you leave your clean air sanctuary, the outdoor (and indoor of your vehicle) airborne allergens, dust, and bacteria are right there to greet you with a vengeance. HEPA filters work by forcing air through a fine mesh that traps harmful particles such as pollen, pet dander, dust mites, and tobacco smoke. Those are tiny particulates that you do not want in your nostrils and lungs, causing undue irritations.
To give you an idea of particulate size, asbestos ranges from .7 to 90 microns in size. If your cabin air filters in cars only catch particles at 5 microns large, asbestos can slip through your “filter” and into the air you breathe. Mold can be as small as 3 microns in size and smoke from synthetic materials at 1 micron in size. Bosch HEPA Cabin Air Filters in cars will filter out any and every particle down to .3 microns in size, protecting your family from harmful particles. That sounds so refreshing, we just took a deeper breath!

Bosch designed their cabin air filter with a melt-blown electrostatic layer along with structural ribs. This design adds additional stability and durability to allow your filter to keep working mile after mile, no matter the season.
Protection Against Allergies
Allergy season is well underway, and many of us are either suffering or knows someone who dreads this time of year. And we concur…we all despise them. Did you know that one in five Americans have seasonal allergies (of course you do, you probably raised your hand)?

All around you, at any given moment, innumerable allergens are floating through the air looking for somewhere to land or someone to irritate. We tend to only think of pollen in the air, especially during spring and fall, but there are plenty of allergens that can get trapped inside your car – mold, grass, animal dander, and tiny flakes of hair and skin (yes, we’re talking human allergens, too). HEPA Cabin Air Filters in cars will filter out the majority, if not all, of the allergens while you are driving and provide the cleanest air possible for you and your family.
Suppose your current cabin air filters in cars you drive or commute in are unable to filter out harmful allergens. In that case, you may be stuck with very uncomfortable road trips involving snotty noses, itchy eyes, or even unwanted asthma attacks. Health, safety, and comfort on the road are just as important as at home, no matter how long or short the duration may be.
Happy Breathing with Filtered Air
We all have responsibilities outside the comfort and cleansed air of our homes, but that does not mean our family’s health needs to suffer. Simple to install, upgrading to HEPA-approved cabin air filters in cars will help prevent sneezing, coughing, and wiping of the eyes, creating miserable car rides for children, or even taking your attention away from the road. Now, drive with ease, knowing Bosch is helping keep your family healthy with premium cabin air filters in cars you love to drive!
