Also, I get my negatives back from the lab in translucent
plastic holders, 4 negs long. They are clean when they went in. But, when
I remove them, they inevitably have a static charge, which attracts any
dust in the air. I suppose an anti-static brush would help.

It is not necessarily that simple, though your suggestion is first
and
foremost. The SS4k and other scanners like it, can have a dust
problem, no
matter how clean your film is going into the scanner. These
scanners can
have dust internally...that no matter what you do, save a clean room,
will
get *some* dust on your perfectly clean film.
Scans from my SS4k almost always had one or more dust spots, no matter
what
I did...and once I switched to a scanner that has a positive pressure
film
chamber the dust problem went away.
