Contaminating the air out side your studio is exactly the idea you want.


Large amounts of air and regular washing of the surfaces outside with normal rain fall is what you want.


1) If you can get a filtering system to actually capture ALL of the various contaminants is it going to be expensive because they will have to prove to some government entity that they do, in fact, capture all of the stuff they advertise they can and because that kind of technology is going to be spendy to manufacture and market.


2) Then there is the question of who is going to dispose of the contaminated filter once you are through with it? What with lead, sulfur, arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, uranium and all of the other elements involved with creating colors in glass the list of what is going to be trapped in the filter are so varied that no one is going to want to legally dispose of it for you no matter how much money you through at them.


Studies have shown that the minor amounts of these chemicals that get off gassed by lampworking (home hobbyist, non industrial scale) given off my our addiction are perfectly safe to get dumped outside on the roofs of our homes to be washed away into the soil in our yards to react with and then get trapped by the weathering and oxidation reactions that will happen over time.


Just don't pipe your ventilation out directly over your bar-b-que grill or the back door where it will collect on the door knob that gets touched every day or the favorite place for the smokers to hang out or have the down spout draining into your food garden.
