I came here to say this. For a blog post accusing the Wirecutter of being "rife with factual errors, [and] misleading statements" the author could have, ya know, not gotten basic facts wrong about filtering standards?
Just a few sentences later the author states "This passage implies that a (“true”?) HEPA filter is designed to capture particles that are 0.3 microns or larger. But an H13 filter must, by definition, capture 99.95% of particles of all sizes."
This is explicitly wrong! According to the author's own source that they linked above! "HEPA filters, as defined by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) standard adopted by most American industries, remove at least 99.97% of aerosols 0.3 micrometers (μm) in diameter."
