    A filter that removes some contaminants from the air, but allows some air to pass through without contacting the filter, usually to minimize the resistance to airflow.
  • Particle Board

    Made from small softwood particles that resemble coarse sawdust, and is usually held together with potent urea-formaldehyde (UF) glue.
  • Particulate Filter

    An air filter designed to remove particulates from the air.
