Ratel 10mm,

I was told that an HEPA filter could take care of the fumes. Do you know about that type of filter?

Thanks for your input!

It is amazing how much a 450 sq.ft. "studio" with an 8 ft. ceiling can pack up with grinding dust and welding fumes when all doors are closed!
This is the first winter I spend in my shop and I simply didn't see that one coming...

I do have an exhaust fan that I run every 20 to 30 minutes to change the air but it's "super Canada cold" outside and I throw all of my heat out.

I am looking for a way to purifiy my air without having to throw it outside.
I also wish to be able to contain the fumes inside the shop for our house is just next to it. We now have a little baby girl and it freaks me out just to think that I could intoxicate her.

Is there an affordable solution adapted to a small shop like mine?
Most of the systems I see I can't afford right now (welding fume extractors, etc.)

Maybe the kind of air cleaners you can get for a few hundred dollars and that are primarely designed for wood shops?

Thanks for your help!
