I'm sorry to hear about your father's diagnosis. The Sharper Image one lacks a fan, which means that any air filtration it does is going to be limited by the rate at which dust floats by it. In a small closed room, this would work ok but not great. Consumer Reports rated it barely effective.
There are some manufacturers (Friedrich, I think?) that make electrostatic air filters with a fan, and there are also the conventional fan/HEPA filter ones. I have two Kenmore HEPA-type air filters/purifiers that take a ton of dust out of the air, which is good for my allergies.
I found a link to a retailer (http://www.airpure.com) that sells this sort of device.
Finally, here's a link to a San Francisco Chronicle story on the toxic hazards of household dust...

Study says household dust holds dangerous chemicals
