GBlist: HEPA-filter vacuum cleaners



1. Don't forget tried, true, low-tech method of damp mop/dusting for
surfaces.  Recommended by CARB in our Combustion Pollutant guidelilne,
and by allergy/asthma groups (whose members tend to have less than
average amount of carpeting, I suspect).

2.  Vacuum blower/resuspension issue reminds me that some preliminary
data shows strong relationship between indoor airborne particle levels
and ceiling fans.  Which reminds me that I need to clean the fuzzies &
grime off the blades of my fan.  Just did the biennial cleaning of the
frig coils (another great dust collector and spreader).  And the
newspapers have pronounced that the "Spring Cleaning" custom, with its
carpet beating, etc., no longer exists in USA -- time for an updated
house cleaning custom, it seems.
