Default Is an air filter necessary

Since installing a central DC system a few years ago, I no longer work
in an obvious cloud of dust when in the shop. What a huge difference
it made! However, I've contemplated in the time since adding a filter
system. My shop is about 400 sq. feet with only about a 7 1/2 foot
ceilings. I also probably only average 3-4 hours a week in it. Would
it be a worthy investment for my health given my situation? What
have people found to be the case?


My DC is (probably optimistically) rated for 30 microns. My (shop built)
ambient air cleaner has a final filter rated for .3 microns.

I still won't do anything even remotely dusty without my respirator on.

I got my first set of lungs free. But once you're hooked on breathing,
the price goes up for the second set.
