what sort of material will it filter? dust, smoke etc?

It works like the traditional filters that you pay $6 each for and change monthly or quarterly. The beauty of this filter is the ability to wash them and let them air dry. I bought two so one is always ready to use while the other is drying. Saves buckets of money. If you have allergys, no common filter will filter out house dust, etc

Depends on how dusty the conditions are.It's best to clean them after each use.Order washable filters from Amazon and be done with it.

Not sure what your question is for my unit it does a good job of filtering smoke in a small room

Yes, just make sure to use a paper filter bc the holes in a gold filter do let some fine dust through.

Bag designed for leaves and larger items. A finer filter would reduce airflow. Best t use shop vac for dust.

I have only had mine for two months. from the look of things, it will definitely collect dust, but the material is something you can clean with brush and water.

It's only a dust mask, to protect against dust. You need a respirator, the kind with the carbon canisters attached.

I can't remember if I noticed any reduction, however, it's probably a good idea to clean the filter every once in a while to remove the small particles that lead to a blockage. I can say I noticed a considerable amount of less airborne dust in the shop.

I don't know for sure. I use them for fine wood dust in my woodworking shop. If memory serves, smoke is muchsmaller particles, so you may need a different filter.

Look for a mask respirator. The type that blocks dust should do the trick.safety Glasses for eye protect.

If you sanitize it on a regular basis, once to twice a week, there should be no dust. The humidifier sucks air in through the bottom and filters it through a filter which is damp and due to the filter the air that comes out is cleaner than the air going in. Hope this helps. Its a good product and amazon has replacement filters for it 3 for $30 i think. I like this humidifier and recommend it.

This is only a N95 filter system. It will provide protection against 95% of the dust and particles. It's great for a dusty environment, sanding, light painting, etc. I would check to see how small the particles are for "lead fume" and see what type of respirator protection you would need before risking your health.

Angelo, can not answer that true-fully because we do not smoke--I can tell you that once I started using It the dust in the back room was eliminated. It does have two filters-one Is a He-pa filter which traps the tiniest of particles.

Well, I have to remove dust from the filter regularly,so I assume there would be allergens attached also. Remoing allergens is not their usual purpose.

Even though this mask would filter it; the problem is that smoke will most likely seep around the outside edges and defeat it's purpose.

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

I'm not sure. I would tap the filter on the floor to get off as much dust as possible then brush it off maybe with an old tooth brush or stiff paint brush. let it dry and then brush and tap more.
