Try to get one of the miniature vacuum cleaners that laser printer
service engineers use. I found one in the Farnell catalogue (very old

They are not cheap though (GBP101 in 1992) and have very good filtering.

I can't find them in the most recent Maplin cat I have, so it will 
probably need the more specialised outlets.
