The study found that the fans used in the chargers are blowing air directly into the area near the charging point, sweeping up dust, residue from tires, grit, and everything else around.

Most/all Level 1 & 2 chargers do not have fans in them, so this wouldn’t be an issue. And the solution is fairly simple - just don’t stand next to the fast charger for the 15-20 minutes that the vehicle is charging. Take a walk, do some shopping, etc.

Or just sit inside your car and let the cabin air filters do their thing.

Not near a roadway though, the pollution will kill you
