NTM in House Dust - suggestions for minimizing exposure

Thank you for the input. I have been thinking of getting another air filter machine for our house. I do not have allergies but it looks like this one addresses other things such as bacteria and pollution etc. There is another one on the market that makes the same claims made by Austin Air Systems. We currently have a Honeywell which is well rated but not claiming to be medical grade air cleaning etc. Anyway thank you. We have a lot of farm pollution in the air in our part of Iowa and the usual allergins, mold etc.

We use the Honeywell Insight series portable HEPA air filters. I have several, in different sizes for our most occupied rooms. This is in addition to the HEPA system on our whole house system heating and air conditioning system. We considered several others, including the Austin Air, but came back to Honeywell for reliability, consistent performance, more compact footprint and ready availability of filters. Both of our kids have other types in their homes and have had to search high & low and wait for replacement filters at times.
We live summers in an urban area, winters in an agricultural area so both pollution and dust mitigation are important to us.
I think the bottom line is, are you comfortable with what you have? How do you mitigate dust and pollution when you are outdoors? If you are OK with no mask, or an N95 mask, the Honeywell is better than either. If you always wear an N99 Mask when not in the house, then Medical Grade air cleaning makes sense.

All the best in your research.
I was just told that I was negative on my allergy testing.... but.. have very reactive/sensitive airways..!
So that seems worse.
I don't get rashes, etc.. just can't breathe!
