Please don’t take advice from here, find out for yourself: Buy an air quality monitor like the one pictured,

with VOC, CO2, etc. and depending on which spike for your room, buy a hepa air filter with the matching strength, eg my small farm of X1Cs emit a lot of PM2.5 and TVOC so I got a Levoit that handles double the sq ft of the room and though it has its own detection, I just run it whenever I print. It’s quiet and avoids the issue. But there IS AN ISSUE. It’s different for every space, room, ac system, printer, filament, project etc. You have to sample YOUR air.
levoit is good and has some very affordable options. we have an appropriately sized levoit in almost every room in our house and it helps a lot with allergies. also make sure to change your furnace filter regularly and use merv 13 or higher filters for it
Seconding Blueair!
We have a Levoit and a Blueair; while I have nothing bad to say about the Levoit, I personally prefer the Blueair (granted, it was about twice as expensive).
We've got two medium-sized dogs, and - aside from the clumps of dog hair under the baseboards - you wouldn't know that we had any pets!
Adding to the other person’s recommendation, picked two of these up almost a year ago now and ALL smells have been handled by just one unit no problem.
We’ve used it to:
\- Clean drywall dust out of the air (don’t recommend this but it works well)
\- Clear smell of cat litter
\- Prevent smell of countertop sealant / adhesive
\- Farts (literally do not smell them)
I really can’t say enough good things about these purifiers. I had Levoit units for years before but these have been so much better for us. The auto feature seems to work really well at even detecting farts in a chair across the room funnily enough.
The plasma thing is a bit of a gimmick though because it happens after the filter so it doesn’t really do much
