I use a purifier made by Austin Air. I mainly use it to eliminate dust even though it would also purify the air of fumes. But there are no fumes in my studio because I paint without solvents except for one drop of turpentine which I use in my underpainting mixture.
I have no solvent cup on my palette while I'm painting nor any open jars to clean the paint off of my brushes. I clean dirty brushes at the end of the day with Safflower Oil which I get from Utrecht, followed by Jack's Linseed Oil soap. I also use a little Gamsol to take the paint off of my palette at days end.
Solvents are dangerous and not necessary.
