In the air are contained fine dust, oil, smoke and metal powder,
which is visible, as well as particles which is invisible to the
naked eye. Their sizes range 0.01§ to 100§ and they are contained
in the air by about 1000000 widely

be removed. FED defines 0.5§ as standard for the level of cleanliness.
