I dunno. I'm not really convinced that all particulates are automatically harmful at modest levels, at least not to a degree that is worth worrying about. The stuff that worries me are aerosolized modern pollutants- things like smog, glass dust from cutting fiberglass (particularly nasty stuff), and in the future potentially even new wonder materials like carbon nanotubes.

An air purifier with a HEPA filter and an ionizer will take care of the majority of visible airborne household dust, if it really bothers you.
