Baker's lung is a thing too. I think about that when I see the dust from my spice grinder when making various powders. No matter what there is airborne dust when I open the grinder. I try to do my wood cutting outside but I am not sanding much. When I refinished my floors I wore dust protection and a loose tshirt over the dust protection to make clean up at the end of the day a bit easier.
