Even inert things like wood dust will eventually mess you up.
I also make knives and when I'm sanding (high speed belt sander) I generate a lot of dust and my forge-master insists i wear protection. Another crafter who comes in wears what looks like a flipping scuba get-up that filters the air BEHIND him and tubes it into a breather.... how's that for careful.
And we're only talking wood here.
To be fair, I must have inhaled a lot of aluminum embedded resin dust in my time polishing my detonators so I'm sure I'll get Alzheimer's in a couple years... ...wait, what was I saying? Who are you? What's a computer?

Excellent point leespanic! If you have a respirator and you cover both filter intakes and breath in, the respirator should not allow air to leak into the mask. The mask should squish up to your face and form a strong suction. If it does not, your mask is not fitted properly or has a leak.
