Sodasorb is used all the time in scuba rebreathers which we breath from
directly.  What we typically do in rebreather scrubbers is to fill them in a
slight breeze to help blow off the dust.  Some rebreather scrubbers have pads
in line to also cut down on the dust. It's not that big of a deal and a lung
powered scrubber...it can easily be down with PVC pipe.  Just do a search on
the web for homebuilt rebreathers to get an idea.  Try this website for
instance: http://home1.gte.net/doctrbob/CCO2.htm or even this one:

It's not rocket science....
