How about an air filtration system? Something like this or this
They're commonly used in wood shops to collect saw dust and other fine particles, but seems like it fits your application.
In addition to what's been said, I would try to find a way to blow your dust out of the room. I work out of my garage, and I use a squirrel cage fan aiming the flow out under the slightly opened garage door. This way air circulates through the shop, clearing lots of the fine dust outside.
Other than that, air cleaners might help.
You definitely need a good dust mask like this one and you have to wear it all of the time. Plywoods, laminates and some exotics can be an immediate problem also. Working in a garage is nice when the weather is good you can keep a lot of your dust outside. I have a walkout basement shop with a deck over the door so as long as the weather is nice I try to do my sanding outside. If you can afford it a Jet or Powermatic air filter helps. If that's too costly a couple of 20" box fans with 20" x 20" MERV 11 filters on them works okay.
Get a fan and blow it across the workpiece away from you, if you have to work in an enclosed shop get an air filter. If your jigsaw has an attachment port, put it on a shopvac or dust collector.
If you are really worried you can wear a full face respirator but acetone is pretty harmless stuff, your body naturally produces acetone and is quite capable of metabolizing any that gets into your system, it is somewhat of an eye irritant but you won't go blind.
Do you think, this system is any better?

PLUS a dust collection system on all power tools and either an exhaust fan or an air mover to exhaust out of shop.
By exhausting out you help create negative pressure prevent it from making it into the house.
A dust collection setup does so much to help with stray dust.
