Thanks to everyone for the interest and help.

Well the determination is two weeks lifespan in the open so my worry about the filter has now became a moot point after three months.

Add to the facts of where it has been sitting for the last five weeks has an ambient air temp of 90-120F.

As long as it's been I feel confident there is no threat from it now.

Perhaps this thread will help others in the future that might have the same or similar problems/questions.

As always any help is appreciated and welcomed and thanks in advance!
