I got some small fenders for 12" tires from Princess Auto and set them as a guard/ air and dust deflector. The other thing is that if you are not using air and dust controls you really need to always wear a quality respirator. Doing both never hurts either but at a minimum you should employ at least one system of air quality control. If you cannot use a vacuum system for air control then you are stuck with controlling your dust by keeping it in areas you don't mind being full of dust, fluff, and grit.
