Uh, how's your black lung insurance?   8-)

You don't mention what kind of environment you're in, but that sounds like
a lot of dust.  If it's a home or small office maybe you should consider
a room air filter or cleaner.  If you in a big office area, there's not too
much you can do.  If you are faithful about cleaning it, you could put one
of those "foam with big holes" filters over some of the intakes, but usually
they cause more problems than they cure - dust is fairly harmless, overheating
due to impaired airflow is often fatal.
