I wouldn't worry about airborne particulates when reloading. If you plan to load cast or exposed lead you can wear some latex disposable gloves available in any drugstore. Again, as to the air quality? I wouldn't overly worry about it.Is it worth getting a ventilation system if I plan on starting reloading? I would be working in a poorly ventilated basement. Does anyone use fume hoods or something similar for this?

Sounds to me like you should do something about the basement ventilation just because the basement is "poorly ventilated", not because of reloading.Is it worth getting a ventilation system if I plan on starting reloading?

One thing that stunned me years ago was reading that many folks, apparently, bought vibratory case cleaners (VCCs) that came with no lids.... I used to tumble brass in my workshop with just a rag on top of the tumbler. ...
I'm with ya.... My tumbler came with a lid with slotted holes. I guess they weren’t to concerned about the dust being harmful to my health. They probably never thought of it.
Me neither, till I read about it ...
