MERV (minimum efficiency reporting value) is a rating system developed to help consumers easily identify the particulate-capturing properties of air filters. To be more specific, the numbers indicate a filter’s ability of capturing particulates ranging in size from 10 microns down to 0.3 microns. For comparison, face powder can be as small as 0.1 microns, pollen is about 10 microns, and the period at the end of this sentence is about 600 microns.
A filter’s MERV is indicated on a scale of 1 to 16, with 16 being the best quality air filter. The following list describes common particulates and pollutants that MERV-rated air filters will remove from your living space.
