Primer and air quality

Hi all!

I'm using Akzo primer on my build, so far very succesfully.

This may be a silly concern, but I'm wondering if anyone with more experience can comment on whether air quality can affect the primer (either short or long term) - my area has significantly bad air quality this week due to wildfires, just when I was planning to do another patch of priming:

Should I wait to prime, or can particulate material in the air (which ends up being used to blow the primer) cause actual problems later? I do use a filter and a desiccant on the compressor, but I'm not sure they're up to the task with that much pollution.

Thanks
Rodrigo
