A laboratory is conducting an experiment where a liquid mixture containing particles of various sizes needs to be filtered. The filtration system consists of two filters operated in series. The first filter removes 70% of particles larger than 5 micrometers (\mu m), and the second filter removes 80% of particles larger than 2\mu m. If the initial concentration of particles larger than 5\mu m is 1000 particles per milliliter (particles/ml), and the concentration of particles larger than 2\mu m but smaller than 5\mu m is 500 particles/ml, what will be the final concentration of particles larger than 2\mu m after passing through both filters?
