Actually, a moderate humidity level keeps dust levels down, by reducing
static, and by making the dust heavier and more likely to fall to the
ground.  20-30% humidity is probably optimum in those terms, or you can
get mold growth.  We do have a high humidity level during most of the
year, although summers are often quite dry.  We do use a dehumidifier
during the weeks of 100% humidity we get during the winter.
