Are there concerns with airborne particles?

The video on the main page has the printer working in what does not appear to be a well ventilated room. I am a first time buyer, poking around.

No, there are no real concerns under normal conditions. There are some studies on particulate matter (UFP - ultra fine particles) and to summarize, there's a lot more in the air outside on a busy street than you could ever produce from a desktop printer.
As long as you aren't printing at temps above the rating of your machine, and outside the range of the filament, you will have no issues. The smells from different filaments may bother you, but there are no health concerns.
