Default 1 micron vs 5 micron DC bags (or, Have my goolgle skills gone bad?)

I just read a "letter to the editor" in a woodworking magazine. If I
recall, the fellow worked at one of the companies that makes DCs. He said
that 1-10 microns are the dangerous size. He also got down on the idea of
trying to use an air cleaner to keep the air safe. It cleans the air after
it has been blowing around the room for you to breathe. Better to collect
it at the source.

I just noticed the Grizzly catalog sells 0.5 micron bags.


Thanks. Based on your tip, I looked at Grizzly (website), and what I found
actually says 0.3 microns.

But I am confused. It seems that the 0.3 micron bags are cheaper than the
3.0 micron bags. How can that be? In any case, the cost is surprisingly
low -- if they are as advertised. At least there might be a solution to
the news about 1.0 micron stuff -- for those of us who can only afford a
DC with bags. Think these bags fit other DC's - Jet, Penn State, Delta?
