How to remove tiny dust particles from the air

cleaningsanding

As a basic prep step before I painted, I sanded some of my walls.

Later, I cleaned the area and swept up any visible dust particles.

Now however, a member of my family is having difficulty breathing when they spent any length of time in an adjoining room.

  2. Can I buy a test kit or pay somebody to test the air for invisible dust particles that may make it difficult to breathe?
