This is a GOOD (MERV 8) air filter. It will filter out the bad things that you don't want to breath like Dust, Pollen, Dust Mites, & Lint.
Innovative Airguard® XTREME+Plus® filters are the best Self-Supported Pleat on the market. The XTREME+Plus achieves high efficiency, extremely low pressure drop, and industry-leading dust-holding capacity. These pleated filters save time and money because they contain no metal that will warp or deform. Instead, they consist of a 100 percent moisture-resistant beverage board frame and rugged synthetic media. Consistent pleat shape and spacing allow particulate to collect evenly over the entire surface of the media. Three pleat stabilizer straps add rigidity, and boxed pleat tips provide surface area for adhesion.
