Reference guide Addenda allows to use filtration media with a minimum dust spot efficiency of 30% or higher and greater than 90% arrestance on a particle size of 3–10 "µg". I suppose it is "µm" not "µg", but I'm not very familiar with the filter standards and I cannot judge it. Does anyone knows well about this?
I would assume you are right and that the units should be size and not mass. However, I am not a filter expert either.
