: My understanding on filters is the rating for particle size as stated. I use
: a P100 filter sometimes more commonly refered to as a Hepa filter. I
: purchase them from a safety wholesaler and they tell me that P100 means
: 100% particles are filtered.

That's not true, as it's essentially impossible. What it means is that 100% (99.97% actually) of the particles above .3 microns are filtered out. A P-100 is equivalent to a HEPA filter.
