Be careful of high voltage precipitators or so called air
fresheners which produce Ozone. Ozone is very harmful to
conventional photographic material. I don't know what
effect, if any, it has on alternative processes prints but
it generally acellerates oxidation. It is murder to silver
gelatin prints or films.
The caution is to make sure that a dust precipitator does
not release a lot of Ozone into the air.
