I read somewhere if tablesaw blade throwing dust upwards it because fence is misaligned.
IMHO dust mask is simply not sufficient enough for amount fine dust created in the shop. Respirator best way to go.
I think air filtration unit is a must and that window fan with filter cheap alternative to shop filtration system. The problem I run into use those filters they get clogged up very fast 12 x 12 x 1 filter could go in a day 2" thick filters better but they obviously more expensive. Best if you can find some kind reusable filtration material which can be washed and reused. Home Depot sell one of those, inexpensive compared to average filters, 12"x36" about $10
