Particles are constantly circulating in the air. While they are invisible and microscopic, some air particles can wreak havoc on our health. From difficulty breathing to watery eyes, certain factors in the air can lead to minor to major allergies. Thankfully, air filters can help capture certain particles, allowing for clean air to circulate throughout the home.
What's in the Air?
The air you breathe significantly impacts your overall health in ways you might not even realize. From particle size to the contents in your air, air pollutants in your home could be responsible for breathing issues, allergens, asthma attacks, and the aggravation of other respiratory conditions.
Air filters are a great way to protect your health as well as your indoor air quality. Quality air, quality life. Knowing which air particle allergens your air filter targets can help you make better choices when it comes to finding the right air filter for your HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system.
Learn more about how air filters work, which particles they capture, and how to choose the right filter based on its MERV ratings.

How Do Air Filters Work?
Air filters make it easy to clean the air you breathe by trapping what you can't see. Microparticles in the air can aggravate asthma, allergies, and other respiratory symptoms making it uncomfortable to do the things you enjoy in your home. Air filters installed into your HVAC systems help you to care for everyday air, filtering the indoor air you breathe.
Air filter media fiber is electrostatically charged to help the filter attract, capture, and trap the smallest, hard to see microscopic particles that otherwise would bypass the filter.
Pleated Filter Design for Greater Efficiency. The wire-backed pleated filter media offers a large surface area which increases the filter's dust-holding capacity and improves its efficiency.

What Do Air Filters Capture?
Air filters are designed to capture a range of particles that vary in size, depending on the filter MERV rating. From the smallest household dust and mold spores’ particles to pet dander, a good air filter should capture a range of particles.
When there is an excess amount of dust it can attract dust mite debris. These small insect-like pests are too small for you to see and thrive in warm environments. The Kleenex Advanced Allergen Air Filter with a MERV 11 rating - and other Kleenex Air Filters – helps capture microparticles - like dust mite debris - while protecting the air you breathe.
Trapping pet dander in your air will help protect your home and family.
Household Dust & Dust Mite Debris
Dust is of the tiniest particles to capture. A microscopic particle, dust is made up of multiple materials such as smoke, pollen, sand, and small bits of human and animal skin cells and hair.When there is an excess amount of dust it can attract dust mite debris.

Allergens
The Kleenex Elite Allergen Air Filter sets a new standard in air filtration. Certified Asthma & Allergy Friendly (meets the certification standards for the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America), this filter excels with airborne allergens to help capture and hold particles that aggravate common symptoms.Pet Dander
The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America states that 10-20% of the global population is affected by dog and cat allergies.Trapping pet dander in your air will help protect your home and family.
Mold Spores
Belonging to the fungi category, mold thrives in moist, oxygenated environments. By reproducing tiny cells that waft through the air called spores, mold can spread to all corners of your home. This can cause dizziness, asthma attacks, skin rashes, and headaches. Keep the air in your home clean and minimize mold spores with an air filter.Smoke
Smoke in the home can come from many sources while doing the things we love. Minimize the impact of smoke on your indoor air quality by using an air filter.Bacteria & Viruses
Some of the smallest particles, viruses, and bacterial cells can wreak havoc on your health, causing a host of illnesses. On a molecular level, the difference between the two kinds of cells is that bacteria are cells that can live inside or outside of a host while viruses are non-living cells that need a host body to survive.MERV Rated Filters
One of the most crucial factors when it comes to choosing the right air filter is the MERV rating. Short for Minimum Efficiency and Reporting Values, the MERV rating ranges from 1-20. This will help you understand how a filter can capture particles of specific sizes.
Measured in microns, particle sizes range from between 0.3-10 microns with 10 being the largest. A higher MERV rating indicates that a filter will have a more efficient capacity to remove smaller particles from your air, allowing for thorough cleaning.
