When I read the description on HEPA filters, it is alarming advice to me:
> "[A HEPA Filter] is particularly useful for very fine dust that can be harmful, like asbestos or mold spores [...]"
It is a misconception that you can purchase a vacuum with a HEPA filter and safely pick up materials like asbestos, lead dust, mold. If the seals in the vacuum are not sufficient then you risk throwing around the hazardous materials when you suck them up.
The professional vacuums (such as some manufactured Pullman Holt, Nikro) are tested and certified for these purposes. Please do comprehensive research when dealing with hazardous materials. Consider professional abatement services.
