Purely anecdotal, haven't tested this by any means. It does help with the ABS fumes based on the air purifier readings I have about 20' away from the X1C.

That would be me. I simply don't worry about it and it is way overblown. Walk into any extruder and or injection molder and see the level of stench there and OSHA does not mandate PPE for the press operators. The amount coming off of the small print head is minimal.
