What is the equivalent MERV rating for HEPA filters?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

HEPA filters are known to be highly efficient in filtering out particles, and they typically correspond to a MERV rating of 17-20. The MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) scale ranges from 1 to 20, with higher numbers indicating a greater capacity to capture smaller particles. Therefore, the correct equivalent MERV rating for HEPA filters is MERV 17-20.
