micronAir Cabin Air Filters Featured on the 2007 Toyota Tacoma

While pickup trucks are meant to get dirty, the air inside them is not. With the announcement by Freudenberg Nonwovens' Filtration Division -- the market leader in the production of cabin air filters -- that its micronAir(R) filters are now featured on the Toyota Tacoma, drivers can breathe a little easier whether they're on the highway or a dusty back country road.

"We are pleased to provide Toyota with cabin air filters for its Tacoma," said Barry F. Kellar, vice president and general manager, Freudenberg Nonwovens Filtration Division. "By reducing the amount of harmful particles such as pollen, road dust and soot that enter and circulate in the passenger compartment, micronAir filters allow Tacoma drivers to really enjoy their truck without having to worry about the air quality inside the vehicle.

The filters from micronAir filter the air entering the cabin of the truck through the HVAC system, reducing certain particulate contaminants that are associated with various health concerns, including asthma, allergies and bronchitis.

"Studies show that the air inside a vehicle can be up to six times more polluted than the air outside," Kellar added. "While the effects of this may not be immediately noticeable, they can intensify over time, especially since, on average, Americans spend more than 400 hours a year in their vehicles."

A product line of Freudenberg Nonwovens, micronAir cabin air filters reduce dust, pollutants and odors entering a vehicle's passenger compartment, enhancing the passengers' driving comfort and health. Cabin air filters by micronAir are installed on two-thirds of the vehicles manufactured worldwide equipped with cabin air filtration systems.

As the world's leading brand, micronAir cabin air filters are the only automotive cabin air filters to be GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified(R) -- by the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute, an industry-independent, non- profit organization that conducts third-party certification of products for indoor air quality.
