Who says it isn't easily collected? Oh, I forgot about the 'tire dust
collectors' we have on the earth to collect it all up. ;-)

No, it's heavier than air, and any fine dust gets washed out when it
rains and ends up down a drain. And this is different in a habitat how?

Incidentally, you can always use cyclonic dust extractors if you're
really that bothered.

Yes, you may well have to control the allowed solvents in the habitat.
Or not. Liquifaction of the air is not particularly energy intensive,
and you have plenty of energy. You probably have to liquify all the air
periodically anyway and you can separate off the nasties then; nearly
everything burns or degrades if you get it hot enough, and then you can
feed the combustion products back into the liquifaction process and
remove the CO2 and so forth. Also, some plants and bacteria will
probably help deal with these issues if you ask them nicely, say by
putting them into the habitat.
