Collect every bit of particulate at the source. So for the sawdust, plan on a dust collector, maybe a cyclonic unit with plenty of volume and good grounding between each component to prevent that nasty static discharge thru people or things. It is great to dump out of the workspace, but there goes your climate and you need make up air to replace it. I have an Oneida unit that exhausts back into the work space and it seems to do about 85+ % of a good job.

Next may be an electrostatic dust unit like this? [www.jettools.com]
An air filtration unit to take care of the rest of the dust.
For the vapors you may want a fume extraction hood? I don't know, but how about an old stove vent from Craigslist?
Mechanical barriers between each space are the most effective. Close the door! use positive pressure to prevent migration from areas that generate pollution to areas that cannot accept pollution.
Shop layout is the place to start. Every place is different.
