Passively effective or not, no amount of activated charcoal would make me comfortable sharing a room with a resin printer for an extended period of time. I'd want a decent quality respirator.

Heck, even an FDM printer puts a lot of small particles in the air.

10,000,000% this. Resin printers are just concerning to be around overall. Even with proper protocols, gloves, respirator, ventilation, spill protection, etc..., the hazards are fairly "industrial" and should be treated as such. It only takes one accident.

FDM is the way to go for unenclosed or close-by environments. Powder bed is the way to go if you can afford it and have a workshop. I leave resin to the industrial print facilities or actual full production shops that have separate spaces.
