In Germany at least, companies are not allowed to put the printer in 'busy' areas. Starting from a certain company size, a seperate room may even be required. I believe particulates are explicitly given as a reason for this.

I'm also not sure how this would be 'easy' to prevent, without adding a whole sealed enclosure around the printer.

At least they could provide a fume/dust extraction point, similar to those found on things like SMD reflow ovens.
