AAF Urges Residents and Businesses in Wildfire Affected Areas to Upgrade to MERV 13 Air Filters
AAF's Urgent Call for Air Quality Protection Amid Wildfire Smoke
As smoke from raging wildfires in Canada and Minnesota blankets parts of the Midwest, Northeast, and Mid-Atlantic, it's crucial for residents and businesses in these areas to prioritize their indoor air quality. AAF International, a leader in air filtration solutions, has highlighted the need to upgrade to MERV 13-rated air filters to combat the adverse health effects caused by the smoke. Approximately 115 million people are exposed to unhealthy air due to these wildfires, prompting this urgent advisory.
Why Upgrade to MERV 13 Air Filters?
Wildfire smoke comprises particulate matter that can severely impact health, particularly for vulnerable populations such as the elderly and those with preexisting respiratory conditions. Standard air filters, commonly rated at MERV 8, are not equipped to filter out the dangerous PM2.5 particles that permeate wildfire smoke. Transitioning to MERV 13 filters can reduce an individual's exposure to these harmful particulates by an impressive 75%-80%.
