Abstract

An air filter medium comprising a porous polytetrafluoroethylene film and an air-permeable support member laminated on at least one surface of said porous film and having a PF1 value exceeding 22, which is calculated according to the following formula:PF1=[−log(Penetration (%)/100)/Pressure loss (mmH2O)]×100in which the penetration (%)=100−Collection efficiency from a pressure loss (unit: mmH2O) measured when an air is flowed through the air filter medium at a flow velocity of 5.3 cm/sec. and a collection efficiency (unit: %) measured using dioctyl phthalate having a particle size of 0.10 to 0.12 &mgr;m. This air filter medium has a low pressure loss and a high collection efficiency.
