More likely carpet getting worn and making more dust. That's the source 
of most of my household dust -- thick but well-aged carpet that both 
sheds and puffs, and the rest seems to come from the attic's cellulose 
insulation. Somewhat mitigated if I regularly vacuum the living crap out 
of the carpet. It's much dustier in here than out on my porch, negating 
the notion of volcanic dust.

Also helps to change furnace filters regularly.

Make high-airflow filters from pantyhose, or here I've used some very 
loose-celled foam (random piece that came as packing), or you could 
cannibalize household furnace air filters. Foam is probably the most 
effective as fine dust stopper, because it has so many convolutions for 
dust to get stuck in.

Anyway, just cut to cover vents and fasten by whatever means is 
convenient. My foam filter sits under the half-a-box that I use as a 
noise reducer since Silver's case has a fan on the top. (Point noise at 
wall instead of at ear)
