Not in a workshop context - more the house... We have a LOT of airborne dust here (outside dust, fabric dust and others). I was wondering if any of the air filters (floorstanding ones) were any good? Not looking for "hospital grade, ion emission...) - just something that will pull some dust out of the air leading to less dusting and cleaning...

What about those electrostatic dust gubbins? I've never tried one, but given how much dust CRT monitors used to attract, the principle seems sound.

Air dust removal?

As in the curtain in my office that gets blasted with dust spewed out from the tower system.

That's because dust has a (un)natural equlibrium. Removing dust causes an imbalance in the dustiverse and so more will slide down to fill the inadequate volume. The universe isn't infinite but the dustiverse is.

Actually, astrophyscisists can't find most of the matter in the universe - I think that I've just explained it.
