Greetings to all. I was always worried about using fiberglass as a prefilter for my carbon air filtration.Over the years i follow growshops for an alternative option, like a product with non harming material but i can't find anything.I wonder why cannabis growing industry does not yet care about such important matters. It is really disgusting to see your new prefilter plucks arround inside your tent day by day while you discover tiny glass fibers sticked to your plant colas.It seems that health issues of small scale hobbysts growers are not first priority for these companies.Full of fiberglasses and rockwools in this market.Does anybody with the same concern, using an effective alternative for pre-filtration that works the same way? Any ideas would be appreciated.

My carbon filter comes with a fleece filter. It is made out of rayon I think you call it in the US.
Fibre doesnt end up in my grow, since the constant suction from the filter would make anything loose stick..
I woudnt be concerned about rockwool or glassfibre. They dont give of anything if heated. Only the resin used when making solid glassfibre stuff is poison?

Thank you for the response superpedro. Without being an expert, I assume that when dealing with wools made from rock or glass, small chunks are released in the slightest touch and i suppose the same happens when fibers moving and rubing each other during ventilation from exausters,fans etc. Nowadays we all know about the impacts of exposure and inhalation the dust from such fibers. Also nobody wants to smoke these and i can't belive that inhaling products from combustion of these glassfibers would be harmless.I had always had a proper ventilation through my tent but the fiberglass prefilters always went wrecked off quickly. Could you please tell the brand of your prefilter because this is like what i was searching about.
