Merv Ratings Chart

The document discusses MERV ratings for filters. MERV ratings indicate a filter's effectiveness in trapping particle sizes between 0.3-10 microns. Higher MERV ratings correspond to higher efficiency, with MERV 1 filters trapping less than 20% of 3-10 micron particles and MERV 16 filters trapping 95% or better of 0.3-1.0 micron particles and 90% or better of larger sizes. The MERV rating system provides a standardized way to compare the ability of different filters to trap various indoor air pollutants like dust, pollen, and smoke.
