Is anyone familiar with this article?

I'm wondering what vacuums they used in the study.

I guess I figured since they were 100-300 microns in size that their numbers would be diminished a bit by a HEPA vacuum. They don't bother me (AFAIK) and I"m not concerned about them nearly as much as I am about knowing that my vacuum picks up more things that I can't see than a big-box store vacuum does :).
