With my dust allergy (severe asthma), any dust is trouble. Cardboard and old paper (old books) are magnets for dust and mold. I found an all wood barristers bookshelf, which has proved helpful in keeping the dust controlled, as well as cleaning the contents regularly, with a mask on!
Previously in my house I had duct cleaning routinely. I now use an I.Q. Air filter in my apartment. Have used this for about 12 years, with excellent effect.
I too would have trouble in a room with old boxes! Perhaps you could transfer the 'stacks of paper' into some plastic bins to seal up the paper and remove the cardboard boxes, until able to work on them.
Best of luck getting through such a project.!

Christine - my second reply to you today! You should post more often - you are full of wisdom.
These intelligent dust filters have been a salvation for us.
35 years ago, my daughters' ENT told us to remove all books and stuffies from their room. Each was allowed one to sleep with, and it was laundered weekly. The tears of 2 little girls prevailed, and we bought each a 4-high set of barrister bookcases behind which we stored their precious collections. They both still have those bookcases in their homes.
Over the past 3 years, I have been gradually decluttering our house. ALL of the old magazines and textbooks are now gone. The few books we kept in a closed bookcase.
All carboard storage is history as well. Items we choose to keep are stored in closed totes. 75-80% of what was in the boxes is gone.
Keep coaching here please!
