Meets the American Lung Association® Health House® Indoor Air Quality Guidelines . No unnecessary antimicrobial chemicals added; Filtrete filtering material will not support the growth of bacteria, mold, mildew or fungi in normal use . Contains electrostatically charged media to filter and attract particles in the air Attracts and captures large allergens like: - Pollen - Mold spores - Dust mite debris Attracts and captures microscopic allergens like: - Smoke - Pet dander - Household dust - Smog * This filter should be changed at least every 3 months. Certain conditions in your home will significantly add particles to the air - this will cause the filter to capture more particles, shortening it's life to less than 3 months. These conditions would include: dirty ductwork, pets, construction work, sanding projects, tobacco smoke, burning candles, fireplaces and wood-burning stoves. WHY USE MPR RATHER THAN MERV RATING? The Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) industry uses the ASHRAE 52.2 Standard, which assigns a Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) to a filter. One part of MERV reports a filter's ability to capture medium to large particles between 1 and 10 microns. This value is helpful in comparing the performance of different filters but it is not adequate alone because particles greater than one micron make up only about 1% of the contaminants in your indoor air. Another part of MERV addresses submicron particles. 3M calls this the MPR or Microparticle Performance Rating. It measures a filter's ability to capture particles between 0.3 and 1.0 micron. Based on independent laboratory tests, 3M's MPR measures a filter's ability to capture submicron particles that make up 99% of the particles in the air, such as bacteria, smoke and smog.

Comments about 3M 24 x 24 x 1 Filtrete® Micro Allergen Reduction Filter - #9812:
I purchased a case of filtrete allergen filters and am please with the product [...] I am a renter with pets, and children--the landlord provided filters for the air conditioner/heater--but they were paper thin and ineffective. My allergy-prone 16 year old commented days after installing a filtrete that his allergies seemed better.
