Urbanization　increased　population　density　in　cities　and　consequently　leads　to　severe　indoor　air　pollution.　As　a　result　of　these　trends,　the　issue　of　sustainable　and　healthy　indoor　environment　has　received　increasing　attention.　Various　air　filtration　techniques　have　been　adopted　to　optimize　indoor　air　quality.　Air　filtration　technique　can　remove　air　pollutants　and　effectively　alleviate　the　deterioration　of　indoor　air　quality.　This　paper　presents　a　comprehensive　review　on　the　synergistic　effect　of　different　air　purification　technologies,　air　filtration　theory,　materials　and　standards.　It　evaluated　different　air　filtration　technologies　by　considering　factors　such　as　air　quality　improvement,　filtering　performance,　energy　and　economic　behaviour,　thermal　comfort　and　acoustic　impact.　Current　research　development　of　air　filtration　technologies　along　with　their　advantages,　limitations　and　challenges　are　discussed.　This　paper　aims　to　drive　the　future　of　air　filtration　technology　research　and　development　in　achieving　sustainable　and　healthy　building　ventilation.
