1. A coated, reticulated foam air filter for filtering air suitable for respiration, the air filter comprising: a housing comprising a frame structure, the frame structure configured for holding a filter material in place, the frame structure configured for enabling an air flow stream for respiration to pass through the housing and the filter material, the filter material comprising: an inner foam layer arranged within the housing, wherein the inner foam layer is coated with a non-toxic tackified coating comprising a C-36 dicarboxylic acid and a rosin acid distilled tall oil; andat least one outer foam layer arranged within the housing, the first outer foam layer positioned next to the inner foam layer so as to make initial contact with the air flow stream. 2. The coated, reticulated foam air filter of claim 1, wherein the C-36 dicarboxylic acid and rosin acid distilled tall oil are present in a weight ratio of between about 3 to about 3.5. 3. The coated, reticulated foam air filter of claim 1, wherein the inner foam is coated with the tackified layer by application of an oil composition in a form of an emulsion having an acidic pH. 4. The coated, reticulated foam air filter of claim 3, wherein the oil composition comprises at least about 50% of a C-36 dicarboxylic acid and between about 14% to about 16% of the rosin acid distilled tall oil by weight of the oil composition. 5. The coated, reticulated foam air filter of claim 3, wherein the emulsion comprises a continuous phase that is present in a smaller proportion relative to a dispersed phase. 6. The coated, reticulated foam air filter of claim 3, wherein the dispersed phase comprises between about 68% to about 71% by weight of the oil composition. 7. The coated, reticulated foam air filter of claim 3, wherein the oil composition further comprises an acetic acid solution, an alcohol ethoxylate surfactant, an ammonium hydroxide solution, and water. 8. The filter composition of claim 3, wherein the oil composition's pH is between about 5 to about 6. 9. A coated, reticulated foam air filter for filtering air suitable for respiration, the air filter comprising: a housing comprising a frame structure, the frame structure configured for holding a filter material in place, the filter material comprising: an inner foam layer arranged within the housing, wherein the inner foam layer is coated with a tackified coating comprising a C-36 dicarboxylic acid and a rosin acid distilled tall oil;at least one outer foam layer arranged within the housing, the first outer foam layer positioned next to the inner foam layer so as to make initial contact with an air flow stream intended for human respiration; andwherein the tackified coating is washable, non-toxic and odorless. 10. The coated, reticulated foam air filter of claim 9, wherein the tackified coating emits no functional level of fumes into the air. 11. The coated, reticulated foam air filter of claim 9, wherein the tackified coating remains soft and tacky under use. 12. The coated, reticulated foam air filter of claim 9, wherein the air filter receives a MERV rating greater than or equal to 9. 13. The coated, reticulated foam air filter of claim 11, wherein the air filter receives a MERV rating greater than or equal to 9.
