Digital BW, The Print

A standard rubber respirator-mask fitted out with 
'Organic Vapor' cartridges removes the toxics 
(xylene in Lascaux Fixativ, ether in others) 
very well. Replace the cartridges when you start 
to smell the bad stuff again. Mask and carts are 
available at hardware stores, Home Depot, etc.
I'd add that having the mask AND ventilation is 
best.
