Harvey,

You want a unit that has a HEPA filter to remove very small particles, a
prefilter to reduce the load on the HEPA filter and probably an activated
charcoal filter to remove organic vapors. The prefilter and charcoal filter
should be replaced regularly. The HEPA filters are very long lived and
actually get more efficient over time.

Yes. Make sure you get one large enough for your work/live space.
