It captures everyday dust, pollen, pet dander, and mold spores while keeping airflow resistance moderate — a sensible balance for buildings without specific air-quality concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNominal size: 36-3\/8 x 24-3\/8 x 1″\u003c\/li\u003e\n
