I'll look a bit more into the technologies out there and see what is affordable.
Thanks go to everyone who have commented so far.

Sorry i misunderstood. Reminds me of photographs around the turn of the century in towns. By products of heating where all over everything and airborn as well. About the only course of action that occurs to me for your problem. Is constantly slightly pressurizing your house with an air source that is well enough filtered to grab even the smallest smoke particles.
Except where weather conditions have all the local smoke rising away fast it would constantly run during the local heating system. If the house is fairly tight even a 1/10 hp blower might be adaquate. It is against code in many large and medium sized cities to burn wood in a stove without a catalytic converter installed. This would give you positive clean air changes as well through the leakage components of your house to some degree with clean incoming air.
Perhaps you could approach local authorities about your difficulty. Some areas already have codes on local air quality. There should be something out there in the marketplace that could be adapter to your needs. I suspect the cost lies in the sophisticated filter medium. Everything else should be simple. I have never heard of commercial systems like this with the exception of labs. Find the type of filter that meets your needs at a reasonable price and the rest should be easy.
