dust filter

Air-cleaning mesh screen

A dust filter is a device that removes particulate matter from air or gas passing through it.

Found in HVAC systems, vacuum cleaners, electronics, and industrial equipment, dust filters protect machinery and improve air quality.

The computer's dust filter needs cleaning every few months.

Also called an air filter when the emphasis is on breathable air rather than equipment protection.
