when it says Greatly Reduces Inhalation does that mean air intake or does that refer to the other things it filters out?

No problems with inhalation - we had them on in the planes we were travelling in.

Sorry, I don't know. The nasal screens wouldn't stay in place long enough for me to know.

It's referring to the inhalation of germs/dust and other things you want to keep out, though it does restrict overall air intake a little bit, as breathing through a mask or thin cloth might.

I've used them many times, usually on airplanes or at dog shows (I'm allergic to dogs) and can breathe easily With them on. Do yourself a favor, apply them looking in a mirror. I've tried guessing or with the selfy angle with the phone and both do NOT work. You need both hands and want total coverage. I wait until I get in my own vehicle or at the destination before removing them. They are a one time use so be careful when you apply them.

Agree with Tepple. They are referring to the intake of contaminants, NOT the intake of air. You can still breathe easily through the filters, although as Tepple said, they do limit the intake of air a little bit, as any sort of filter would. But not enough to feel restrictive or problematic.

These are standard or typical, and are great for cleaning air of large particles; do not think would restrict air that much. But the typical airconditioniar has a plastic filter that keeps large air particle out of the unit. These would have to be changed monthly to have any effect as far as odors.

Hi A. Quintero The product description does say: Product Description True-Air Compact Allergen reducer Air cleaner , featuring 3M Filtrete allergen reducer filter. Effective at capturing dust, dust mite debris, mold, pollen, smoke & pet dander. Has 3 speed control for low, medium, high setting. Low cost filter replacement. Filter lasts up to 120 days . For room sizes up to 210 square feet. So I am assuming that it will? I was actually cleaning and dusting my room today when I realized, too, that there is too much dust all the time so I came on to see about getting something to capture it before it lands everywhere. So I have not used this product but am looking for something for that purpose also. But from the description it does seem to capture dust -- not sure if it will cut back on cleaning time though. Anyone know??? Also, what does this thing run on? I guess electricity?? Does it use a lot of electricity? I wouldn't want to run up a large bill for an air filter.

This type of filter is to be changed when breathing resistance is felt. It is for particulates and will work for fumes (welding) but not for vapors (acetone, MEK, solvents).

Don't really know other than some sources say that is what it is for. I use it on my filters and am still breathing.

Not sure what you mean. The exhaust breath goes thru center round vent when exhaling. I put my hand over it to seal the outer edges when using. This blows air out around your face to check seal.

Yes, this is the "pre" filter that takes a lot of dust, etc. out of the air. It makes the hepa filter last longer.

True HEPA filtration removes up to 99.97% of airborne allergens from the air that passes through the filter. We recommend using carbon-infused filters with the unit, like http://www.amazon.com/Holmes-HAPF30-Filter-1-Pack/dp/B00006WNO8, to help absorb odors.

Hard to say if this will work in your application, without more information. You will need to discribe your application and what your are trying to accomplish. I'm not familiar with the filter or how much air flow restriction it creates. Tell me more and I will try to give you a better answer.

Page says: - Note: Washing filter material may reduce the filter efficacyI believe this is true, though of course they want you to buy their replacement filters.To save money, I'm thinking about buying these and cutting out own replacement filters from HEPA filter fabric:http://www.airfilterusa.com/commercial-industrial/air-filter-media/poly-dry-1-4-3-8-inch-dry-media

From my experience you should only have air coming from the nozzle itself. The bottom part is the air intake and shouldn't have air blowing out of it. It sucks the air from the bottom though the filter, directly out of the nozzle

Once I applied this in line filter, it drasticly reduced my air pressure. So I just canned it. I apologize for bit directly answering your question. But it's somethig I wish I knew prior to purchasing this item

absolutely, it purifies air to a greater extent- smoke, cooking smell, etc.

I would have to say from the top down. When I took out the old one, all of the dirt and debris was on the top of the old filter. That indicates to me that the dirty air comes in from the top and the clean air flows out from the bottom.Hope that helps..

It does not restrict air flow much at all. Obviously if it starts to get clogged you need to remove it and clean it but within a normal environment you should be fine. My CPU Corsair H80 Hydro cooler is much cleaner because of these filters.

It filters airborne particles. I do not know about your application questioned.

Hi Carol, there is an active carbon filter packed in it, active carbon does run out or better yet lose it's efficiency. They are reasonably priced a multi use personal air filter though and they work well.
