The size of the openings of filters or screens, usually expressed in micrometers.
Screen filters are generally made of a (metal) mesh of some sort, their filtration grade is course, collecting large particles, typically a few millimetres (sometime perhaps 1/10th of a mm) in size or greater. Whilst paper filters are normally based on paper fibres combined together to form a very fine filter material, capable of filtering particles that are sub-micron (less than a 1/1000th of a mm) in size. Most HEPA filters for example are paper-based filters.
no difference
Normal filters will trap dust but may miss microparticles like peices of pollen
because they break up light :)
0.2 micron
Hepa filters filter out smaller particles than reular filters. The size goes down to microns which will filter out microms as well as pollen.
HEPA filters are High-Efficiency Particle Arresting filters.

Hepa filters are free standing. A hepa filter is placed standing and not attached to anything. This makes them easy to install.
Yes hepa filters remove dander as well as dust and pollen
Home Depot sells hepa furnace filters online. Have the correct size of filter needed and look for promotional codes for free shipping. If Home Depot does not have what you're looking for, try Sears.com.
I would look into the Hepa Filters, I ask your allegist if they have a recommediation. I have had real good luck with the hepa filters as long as you keep filters clean and changed.

Yes, Dyson offers a canister vacuum with HEPA filters. It seems that most major brands are now offering this.
Dirt Devil, Shark, and Miele all offer broom, or stick, vacuum models with HEPA filters. You can also buy replacement HEPA filters for your broom vacuum that does not have them already.
