Better yet to wear the proper mask/respirator, huh?? PLUS use a DC and maybe a

Doesn't make sense. While a filter will HELP clear the air, it isn't going to
be CLEAN. It will EVENTUALLY become clean, once you stop woodworking, but
while you are making dust, you will be breathing it in unless you are smart
enough to don a mask.

it's easier to make or buy a cyclone with good cartridge filters and build a
good dc with 6" pipe and work to collect all the dust from the source. I get
almost all of it now and none comes back out of the filters. I make far more
fine dust then most people too.
air cleaners really don't do a lot.
