Porter airs problem to one of those immune to dust (10)

I believe the answer is:

respirator

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one of those immune to dust' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'porter airs problem' is the wordplay.
'problem' indicates anagramming the letters.
'porter'+'airs'='porterairs'
'porterairs' with letters rearranged gives 'RESPIRATOR'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
