    Hospitals What do they use ? Dirt belching shake out bags ? Paper bags, or a central vacuum system ? I know one thing : I don't want particles from a dried out rubber mat in my lungs, or fiberglass particles thrown into the air, and settling onto the surface of my eyes, mouth and sinuses. If...
