There is a VAST difference between air purification and air filtering. The ionic/electrical purifiers cause more dust. Why? They truly are cleaning the air so the variety of airborne particles will drop to the ground, desk, equipment, whatever. It's better breathing, etc. but will cause more dust to settle. The best air filters typically yank about 30% of the air through their systems so you may need several in a room at various point. You will be changing the filters often (if the system is working). The bulk of the "dust" we see is actually skin and other elements from humans and animals and not just things that come in through the air. A combination of both purifying and filtering is probably best for you and the equipment.
